Chippenham's Under 18 continued their unbeaten start to the Dorset & Wilts Merit Table but without taking to the field this weekend.

Opponents Salisbury conceded their clash to the disappointment of coach Rob Alford.

He said: "It is very disappointing from the players point of view, but Salisbury conceded the match and there is not a lot that anyone can do in these circumstances.''

League rules state that where a team concedes a match to their opposition, the team that concedes is deducted two points.

The opposition are awarded two points plus a points difference for the game of 50.

Chippenham are top of the league with a played three, won three record.

The under 13s finally got their season underway, defeating Clifton 49-12.

Chippenham's forwards dominated the early stages and six tries came in rapid succession led by a hat-trick from skipper Tom Boreham. Prop Simon Livesey, fly-half Callum Fannin and centre Cameron Brown added the rest.

At half-time, Chippenham made changes but scored three more fine touchdowns from winger Brett Neal, scrum-half Tom Burke and lock Adam Deards.

Clifton were rewarded with two late tries, one which was converted. But with Boreham adding two conversions, Chippenham ran out comfortable winners.
