JUNIOR RUGBY: CHIPPENHAM'S mini playing section made a flying start to their season with age group sides from under sevens to under11s gaining impressive results.
The under sevens played their first match under the new tag rules and only a late try from Supermarine denied them victory in a six tries all draw.
Chippenham under eights first team defeated Corsham 4-3, while a second team consisting of a number of newcomers went down by two tries to one at the hands of Supermarine. Daniel Hatch, Jamie Atkin, Toby Hearne and William Waddinton scored the points for the under eights. Two tries from Michael Allies were not enough for Chippenham under nines, who went down 5-2 against Corsham, but a different line-up triumphed 3-1 over Supermarine. Allies again weighed in with a brace, while Ben Cook also scored.
Chippenham under 11s defeated Corsham 30-0, with Louis Blackburn scoring two tries. Jacob Emery, Olivia Johnson, Matt Burrows and Jay Pickering also went over for the victors.
Johnson scored Chippenham under 11s solitary try as they drew 5-5 with Supermarine.
