Cheshunt 1st XV 38 – 8 Barnet Elizabethans 1st XV (By Steve Briggs) Available on the web site here Cheshunt welcomed Barnet in their second league game of the season. On a perfect day for rugby Cheshunt conceded an early penalty which Barnet converted to take a 0 – 3 lead. From the kick off Barnet won back the ball and drove back into the Cheshunt 22. Resolute defence soon turned into attack as Barnet spilled the ball. Dean Gardener picked up the loose ball and ran 20m before linking with the rest of the back row. Cheshunt interchanged passes between the backs and forwards moving quickly into the Barnet half. The move was stopped at the Barnet 22m line. Cheshunt quickly recycled the ball and passed along the line for Omid Amani to run in the try. This was converted by Tim McSherry for a 7 – 3 lead. Cheshunt seemed to gain confidence from the try and started to dominate the game. The forwards drove the Barnet pack to the line where they were held up. From the resulting scrum Joel Bailey broke off before passing to Darren Minos to score. Tim McSherry again kicked the conversion to make it 14-3. Barnet finally won some ball and ran at the Cheshunt backs. A strong tackle from Ross Boulton dislodged the ball. Dave Lever picked up the loose ball and raced away from the defence to score. McSherry missed the conversion to make it 19 – 3. Some indiscipline and back chat resulted in Barnet kicking for touch. From the resulting line out Barnet moved the ball to drive over the line to make it 19 – 8 at half time. Cheshunt continued to dominate the second half. The forwards broke down the blindside with good support and handling, the move ended with Omid Amani running in his second try of the game. McSherry missed the conversion to make it 24 – 8. With both sides warned by the referee it was the Barnet hooker who infringed to get the first sin bin of the game. With a man extra Cheshunt continued to pressure the Barnet line. The Barnet fly half missed touch and kicked to Dave Lever on the 10 metre line. He returned the kick with interest to score a fine individual try which was converted by McSherry to make it 31 – 8. Cheshunt made 2 substitutions, bringing on Thorne and Chalk. In their first involvement Chalk was alleged to have infringed and was sin binned for 10 minutes. Cheshunt absorbed the pressure until they were back to a fifteen men. Cheshunt once again drove the Barnet forwards towards there line. The ball moved along the line to Dave Lever, who still had a lot to do. He powered his way over the line for his hat trick. McSherry converted for Cheshunt to run out winners 38 – 8. Cheshunt also picked up their first bonus point of the season by scoring more than 4 tries. It was a good team performance after the disappointment of last week. By Steve BriggsCheshunt 2nd XV 29 – 17 Harpenden 3rd XV (By James Batten) Available on the web site here Cheshunt 2nd XV started off the new season with a solid win over and expierenced Harpenden side on Saturday. With injuries catching up with a few players there were some changes in the side with both Tom Mace and Dave Angell coming in after playing for the 1′s the previous week. The game did not start off well for Cheshunt with Harpenden using all of their experience to gain the advantage over Cheshunt. Harpenden were soon 8-0 up after scoring a penalty and soon following up with a wide backs move that left their speedy winger to outpace Charlie Porter. Soon after this Dave Angell had to come off after a 2-inch wound appeared on his head, which proceeded to gush blood over his face like a horror movie, but soon returned all stitched up and a fetching headband reminiscent of forwards from yesteryear. Cheshunt soon rallied round and after a barrage of forward pressure Jason Batten powered his way past two Harpenden players to score. Reece Shooobridge duly converted to bring the score back to 8-7. After this Harpenden took the upper hand till half time and proceeded to score two penalties and a suspect try that had as rather obvious knock on that the referee was unable to spot. With the score at 19-7 before half time tempers began to flair as Harpendens ‘old-school’ players began to make the most of the rules of rugby to gain any advantage they could. This finally came to a head with the two teams being slpit up and Hodgo shouting the Australian war cry of “come on then princess”. As soon as the second half started there was a clear difference from Cheshunt as they came out more aggresive and refused to let Harpenden out of their half and when they did clear their lines the new ‘slimline’ Tom Mace returned the ball with much haste, and carried on doing so thoughout the game to setup up numerous counter attacks. After a two forced changes due to injury, Heinzy and Connor Pearce came onto the pitch and added some clear straight and aggressive running to the Cheshunt game and this clearly affected the Harpenden play as they soon got scrappy and started giving away penalties. Shoobridge attempted a long range penalty to close the gap but narrowly missed and showed his dissapointment on the pitch but didn’t let this get him down as he soon found himself on the scoresheet after picking up the ball off of the back of a ruck, after the forwards gained about 40 yards with excellent mauling and rucking, and cooly added his first senior try to bring the score to 12-19. Cheshunt were now the dominant force in the game with Heinzy and Pearce both breaking the Harpenden lines everytime they ran with the ball. Heinzy, in particular, shone with his choice of line and power giving him, what appeared to be, an average gain of 50 yards evertime he got the ball. One of Heinzy’s powerful runs setup, what can only be described, as a classic team work try. After getting Cheshunt from the Cheshunt 22 to the Harpenden 22 the ball was quickly recycled and went through the hands to the left side of the pitch where Dave Angell found himself in space and passed to Scott Cummines and looped round to receive the return pass and score. Shoobridge duly converted to bring the scores level and then added a penalty to makes the score 22-19 to Cheshunt. Paul Duligall was brought on for Hodgo and became part of a trifecta of tackling force when he and Scott Cummines added to, an already impressive, Jack Gutteridge tackle and proceeded to leave the Harpenden scrum half off of the pitch for the remainder of the game. Ben Hounslow then got unfairly yellow carded after getting spear tackled by two Harpenden players and merely questioned what they thought they were doing. However, this didn’t unsettle him as he soon found himself on the scoresheet within seconds of his return to the pitch. Heinzy managed to steal the ball from a Harpenden play player running at full pace, something that those who were on the sidelines are still mesmerised by now, and ran half the pitch before passing to Ross Chamberlain who powered past one player before offloading to Hounslow to deservedly score. Shoobridge converted to bring the final score to 29-17 to Cheshunt. Yet again there were impressive performances from everyone for Cheshunt. However, special mentions need to go to Tom Mace for his excellent defensive work and counter attacking from full back. Heinzy for his forward runs that gained so much ground and helped setup numerous try scoring chances. Jason Batten, and the forwards in general, for their rucking, counter-rucking and running with ball in the second half. Dave Angell and Ben Housnlow for always being where the ball was and running forward and gaining at every chance and Charlie Porter for being a defensive rock with some hard tackling throughout the game. Man of the Match was Scott Cummines who, finally, lasted a whole 80 minutes and put in numerous ‘Boom’ tackles that no one believed he could do. Team: Lewis, Hounslow, Short, Hodgo, Reynolds, Batten.
