Chipping Sodbury Under 14s 0, Chippenham Under 14s 35
CHIPPENHAM gave all their squad members a chance to play in Sunday's
friendly and were rewarded with a fine victory.
The game started well for Chippenham and despite conceding the weight
advantage in the scrum, they began to work well together as a team and it
was apparent that tries would soon follow.
The first try came from Mike Allies, near the posts, in the first ten
minutes. The next try came from Nick Kidd in the top corner which was
quickly followed by an outstanding run by Bas Parfitt as he scored another
try for the visitors in the same corner.

The final try of the first half came from Joe Bodmin who scored just before
the referee blew the half-time whistle. At the break, Chippenham had a
comfortable 0-20 lead.
The excellent first half score allowed many of the players to be swapped for
new players in the Chippenham squad, enabling all to gain some match
practice.
The change of players made a big difference to the scrum and in this half
Chippenham were certainly a heavier weight of forwards. These changes
allowed Ed Suttle to score early in the half, which was soon followed by
Allies scoring his second try of the match.
As with the first half, the final try of the half and the match, came just
before the final whistle, Austin Strong making a fine run to cross the line
for the try.
