Chippenham's first game in this year's Bristol Combination Cup against Whitehall proved to be an entertaining game, dominated by Chippenham's forwards and backs.

Good forward support play and rucking and mauling provided Chippenham's backs with plenty of space to run in tries.

Tries came early in the first half with P J Rawson going in after quick ball from the forwards. Chivers scored the second and Haines, not to let the forwards down, went in for the third.

Whitehead added a try in the corner, followed by tries from PJ (2), Chivers, Mike Mohan and Richard Smith. Lee Audies converted five to complete the scoring.

Chippenham under 14s 84 Longlevens under 14s 0

Chippenham entertained Longlevens at home in a friendly fixture.

This was a good opportunity to try players in different positions ahead of Chippenham's cup match against Clifton.

Chippenham started well gaining plenty of possession allowing the backs to move quickly up the field but this was spoiled by many handling errors.

The forwards started to dominate, setting up Liam Baker to sprint half the length of the pitch to score.

Chippenham continued to dominate the first half and at half time led 43-0.

In the second stanza Chippenham continued to keep control of the game. Longlevens started to make an effort to compete for the ball this did not last long as Chippenham started to step up the pace of the game. Coach Kevin Ingram was hoping for a harder game to prepare for their cup match.

Scorers were Liam Baker (2), Ollie Harris (2), Stefan Crawley (3), Luke Flower (2), Richard Thatcher (2), Tom Davies (2), Tom Stanley , David Jones tries, Davies 5 conv Flower 2 conv.

Dings Crusaders under 13s 0 Chippenham under 13s 74

Chippenham travelled to Bristol for this first match in the Bristol Combination Cup.

Having never played Dings before, the team didn't know the opposition and went onto the pitch really fired up.

After they scored their first try within five minutes they carried on this form for the rest of the match. At half time they were up by 35 points, so all seven replacements were sent on for the second half.

This just seemed to bolster the ream and they put another 38 points on the scoreboard.

Try scorers were Chris Rookley, Neil Jenkins, Jacob Emery, Kalum House, Shane Mitchell (2), Tony Corke, Louis Blackburn (2), Matthew Burrows (3)

Conversions were kicked by Jacob Emery (4), Harry Smith (3)

Next Sunday Chippenham play North Doreset at Gillingham.

Chippenham under 7's

Chippenham under sevens played their first ever match away to Stroud on Sunday morning.

In only four weeks Nick Burroughs and his coaching team have developed a strong group of 20 players that are showing all the signs of a great squad.

Fresh off the back of a mini tournament the week before, Stroud used their match experience to advantage, beating Chippenham 4-0 in a series of mini matches. However, this was a day for Chippenham to experience playing a rugby match for the first time.

Chippenham went down seven tries to four (35-20) in their first encounter but grew with confidence, just missing out in the last mini match six tries to five (30-25).
