Just before the break Chippenham scored as Andy Williamson touched down but the conversion was missed to the leave the half-time score at 8-5 in Maidenhead's favour.

After the break, a shoulder injury to Mark Livesey dented Chippenham's chances.

Maidenhead added a third try after Chippenham got caught out by a drop goal attempt which the home side followed up to touch down and wrap up victory.
