Oxfordshire Shield

TWO tries from Harry Sutton helped Gosford All Blacks reach the final with a 21-10 home victory over Littlemore.

Gosford will play Chipping Norton at Iffley Road on April 7 before the Oxfordshire Cup final between Chinnor and Henley Hawks.

Captain Tim Ellis kicked Gosford ahead with a 25th-minute penalty and extended their lead with a three-pointer from 50 metres.

It was 9-3 at the break after a third Ellis penalty and one from Littlemore’s Simon Gamble.

Centre Sutton had a try disallowed, but latched onto fly half Matt Watts’s pass to blitz over, Ellis converting.

Ben Bodinham set up Sutton for his second, but the scorer went off with a back injury.

Littlemore finished strongly, with veteran Andy Smith diving over and Gamble converting from the touchline.
