The weather had been pretty poor in the build up to the Bletchley Vs Chesham league clash this weekend, resulting in most our pitches having standing water on them. But luckily enough, the third team pitch was fit to stage the showdown between the two sides.

Bletchley were up for this weekend and knew they would be up against it as Chesham had turned them over previously in their friendly encounter at theirs.

Bletchley started well with strong carries off of 9, forcing Chesham to have to commit more than 1 man to the tackle area with each Bletchley carry. The Bletchley pack we’re missing both their hookers MAC and RYLEY one due to illness and the other due to concussion. But it was Tight Head Prop TOM S who stepped up and took on the role this week, and what a sterling performance he had.

The Bletchley pack we’re dominating the scrum and had Chesham under extreme pressure. This set the platform for Bletchley No8 LUKE F who picked from the base and muscled his way up the pitch steeling yards into the Chesham half all game.

Chesham worked tirelessly in their own 22 and their sheer determination in defence was second to none and on more than one occasion true grit kept Bletchley at bay and denied them the try. Chesham Full Back BEN had an amazing game with some outstanding carries and tackles.

The Bletchley backs were on point today and managed to eliminate the handling errors this week which then sore them work the ball wide very cleanly to both wingers and resulted in try’s going Bletchleys way.

Captain WILL S lead from the front and the Bletchley 10/12 combination was was on point this week, plenty of options for the backs or forwards to run plays.

Congratulations to Bletchley Winger DAVID A, scoring his first try for the club with a blistering run down the wing to score under the posts.
