Chipping Norton bagged 14 points in the final two minutes to rescue a 20-20 draw at Beaconsfield in Southern Counties North.

The visitors weren’t helped by arriving late after their coach got stuck in traffic, and they were 12-0 down in as many minutes.

Beaconsfield managed two tries and a conversion in an impressive opening.

Chippy had a try dissallowed before fly half Adam Smith kicked two long-range penalties.

They were more aggrieved after the break when three more tries were chalked off!

Frustration boiled over on 55 minutes when Mark Clarke was yellow-carded for sealing off the ball.

Beaconsfield added a try and a penalty, and must have though the game was won.

But Smith wriggled through to score and convert on 78 minutes.

Then, in the dying seconds, Sam Townsend outsprinted the defence and Smith’s conversion completed the comeback.

Witney were on the wrong end of a revival, surrendering a 17-5 lead to lose 22-17 at home to Marlow.

They had lost fly half George Bibby to injury after he stayed behind for kicking practice in training.

But James Monks’s boot set up an opening try for scrum half Gareth Campbell, who had teamed up with his brother, Carl, to hack through.

Witney were doing all the attacking and scored again when full back Carl Strutt set up wing Lewis Collins.

Marlow managed a try in the corner before half-time.

But Gareth Campbell and flanker Will Worrall released Collins to score a fine second, which stand-in skipper James Lamb converted.

Marlow, who had beaten Bicester 57-0 the previous week, levelled with two tries and a conversion.

Witney’s hard work was undone by a winning try from Marlow’s full back.

Bicester felt they were very unlucky to lose 23-15 at home to Milton Keynes.

Milton Keynes won four penalties straight from the kick off and fly half Andrew White slotted the fourth to put his side 3-0 up and soon doubled the lead.

Bicester scrum half Steve Risbridger hit back with the first of five successful penalties after good work from wing James Cookson, hooker Esava Rakackaci and No 8 Martin Linstrom.

Risbridger levelled, then made it 9-9 after White struck again.

A break from Anthony Lewis set up Risbridger’s fourth penalty, and it was 15-9 after Craig Smith set up No 5.

But Bicester buckled under pressure in the final 15 minutes, leading to tries from scrum half Daniel Pearson and full back Andrew Poole with White converting both.
