30/01/2010: 1st XV 0-17 Teddington League
Chipstead 1st XV 0 Teddington 1st XV 17
Mid-table Chipstead played host to top of the table Teddington in this Surrey 1 league fixture. The visitors had won every league game so far this season and despite Chipsteads’ best efforts they were not able to thwart this impressive performance.
Teddington missed an early penalty but then took control of the game. However, it took them 30 minutes before they got on to the board with a well worked try under the posts with the resultant conversion being slotted. Further points were added 5 minutes later with a try in the corner, which went unconverted. To round matters off Chipstead conceded a third try just before half time.
The second half saw a much improved performance from the home side. Chipstead were camped in the opposition’s half for most of the remaining 40 minutes and despite some strong attacking play were not able to get a score. Teddington were well drilled and defended well.
Next week Chipstead are at home again and will be playing Uckfield in the 5th round of the Vase competition.
