MATCH REPORT
the tempo was raised and the atmosphere changed. With this it was the impressive Tom Fawssett taking charge and being a big lad, with mountainous thighs proved too hard to fell, with the first of our fight back tries. Tom secured the conversion (14–7) and ensured a more positive outlook for the upcoming second half. Clearly Rich Hoskins and Dan Pearson fed the team copious amounts of Jaffa cakes and Haribo’s (the ones I left) and had a word at half time. Just 5 minutes in, and it was Vice Captian Jordan Scott, in a number 8 kind of way exploiting the space (just like the parting of the Red Sea) charging over for our 2nd try under the posts. Tom again converted (14–14).
17 minutes in, and with our fitness beginning to tell Tom again proved too difficult to put down (big hips this time) and with some nimble foot work and a grunt or two secured the 3rd try. Once again it was converted (14–21).

Beaconsfield really offered nothing in reply and momentum remained with the away side. With a bonus point incentive and only 9 minutes left it was human dynamo Conor Segre from scrum half who came dancing through before scoring the 4th try in some style.
This time specialist kicker and always good humoured full-back Ben Pothecary lined up the conversion before slotting confidently through the middle to maintain the 100% conversion success rate. (14-28)
The cherry on the top then came only 2 mins later when Jordan Scott again finished beautifully from some superb running and breaks. Tom again converted and victory secured (14-35).
Quote of the day: ‘Generous to give such a head start and make it a lot more exciting. Fitness and confidence showed and great to keep our title campaign on the road as we represent Bucks for promotion’ – from a wily wee man in a hat donning a Chiltern woolly hat wearing wellington boots and smoking a roll-up.
Next Week: League Leaders Hammersmith and Fulham are welcomed to Weedon Lane following defeat at the hands of a resurgent Cobham and fearing a double defeat at the hands of the Chiltern Cherubs. With their lead now reduced to a mere 7 points with victory we have a chance to make it a nail biting finale with a 3-way fight for promotion. All clearly very welcome to watch (and cheer).
