DORCHESTER were able to field only 12 players, so Chippenham loaned them two of their own as substitutes.

The home side started the game kicking the ball straight to captain Sue Keevil. She quickly passed the ball out wide to winger Leatitia Delannay, who outpaced the Dorchester backs to score her first try of the game.

Minutes later, Chippenham were again over the Dorchester line through Titiania Bani.

Chippenham's try scorers were Julia Cunningham and Titiania Bani with four apiece, Laetitia Delannay with a hat-trick, and contributions from Aka and Lisa Carter with one apiece.

The top points scorer of the game was Sam Morgan with four tries and 16 conversions to make a grand total of 52.
