National 3 South West

James Cathcart produced a man-of-the-match display in Chinnor’s 24-18 home victory over Bridgwater & Albion.

The fly half kicked nine points and scored the decisive try in the second half as Chinnor edged a hard-fought clash at Kingsey Road.

Bridgwater made the better start, scoring a try through flanker Rob Burnell on nine minutes, converted by centre George Williams.

But Chinnor levelled proceedings after visiting flanker Carl Brown and scrum half Dominik Griffin had both been yellow-carded.

Following some strong forward pressure, referee Jonathan Healy awarded Chinnor a penalty try, which Cathcart converted.

The hosts saw prop Joe Pickett go off injured, but led 14-7 at half-time after Cathcart converted a try from centre Matt Goode.

A penalty from Williams and Burnell’s second try put Bridgwater 15-14 up after 54 minutes.

However, Cathcart dummied his way through and converted his own try in the decisive moment on 66 minutes.

Wing Damian Griffin slotted a drop goal for the visitors and Cathcart a penalty, while Goode was sin-binned late on.

Oxford Harlequins were punished for a ten-minute lapse in their 34-15 defeat at Hartpury College.

Quins conceded three converted tries between 50 and 60 minutes, which proved the difference.

Hartpury took the lead with a penalty from full back James Love.

Wing Ryan Brand caught a cross-kick to bag the hosts’ opening try, Love converting.

Quins fly half Jeff Stewart missed a penalty on 21 minutes, but slotted one four minutes later.

Wings Xavier Andre and Huw Jones went close for Quins with jinking runs.

Love slotted a second penalty before Quins centre Chris Tuatara was yellow-carded.

Quins lost Stewart to injury and switched off as Will Foden, Robert Langley and Brand scored tries for Hartpury, all converted by Love.

The visitors rallied with centre Martin Nutt slicing through for their second try and converting it himself.

A great handling move ended with Jones touching down on the left on 72 minutes, but Quins were well beaten.
