Head coach Jason Bowers believes Chinnor can look back with satisfaction on their first four matches.

Bowers’s side lie second in National 3 South West after three wins and a draw.

That includes facing last year’s runners-up, Old Patesians, Oxford Harlequins (third) and Redingensians (sixth).

Bowers said: “I’m very pleased. We set ourselves a target for the first four games and have exceeded that.

“We’ve beaten three of the top sides apart from Hartpury College.”

  • TWO tries from speedster Jake Wilson helped Oxfordshire Under 18s defeat Newport Gwent Dragons 31-7 at Stratfield Brake.

A penalty from Rob Bryson (Henley College) was followed by a first try from left wing Wilson (Cokethorpe School).

Scrum half Harry Burn (Cherwell School) and centre David Massey (Henley College) added tries after Wilson bagged his second from the half-way line.

Fly half Nick Taylor (King Edward VI School, Stratford) kicked three conversions, Bryson adding one and a penalty.
