Abingdon put on an eight-try show to beat Chesham 60-5 at a chilly Lambrick Way on Saturday, writes Jack Johnson.

Benny Davies, Jamie Lochrie and Luke Mathews all crossed twice, while Lee Taylor’s effort and a penalty try helped the south Oxfordshire side maintain third place in the BB&O Premier.

It took just five minutes for the hosts to open the scoring, Davies breezing over, with fly half Chris Stables converting.

Abingdon rode a period of pressure and, after winning three scrums against the head, Stables kicked a penalty to make it 10-0.

They were soon 17 points to the good as No 8 Lochrie sold two Chesham defenders a dummy to go over and Stables was accurate with the boot once again.

And further misery was inflicted on the visitors when Davies intercepted a hopeful pass to ease over. Stables converted to make it 24-0.

Chesham, though, had the final say in the first half as Alex Jaycocks crossed for an unconverted score.

After the break, Mathews cruised over, with Stables adding the extras, and moments later it was 38-5 as the full back scored a brilliant solo try, running in from half-way.

Stables’ good day with the boot continued with his fifth conversion.

Chesham’s Will Goodes was sent to the sin-bin and Stables slotted the resulting penalty to make it 41-5.

And tempers continued to boil over as Abingdon’s Dale Cross and Chesham’s Ollie Jaycocks saw red.

Lee Taylor’s score and a penalty try, both converted by Stables, extended the hosts' lead to 55-5.

Abingdon’s Lewis McKenna was sin-binned, but Lochrie went over for an unconverted try to seal victory.

In the Championships, Josh Tims crossed twice as Harwell beat Oxford 27-7.

Ollie Wright and Olivier Auriacombe also went over, while Mike Phillips kicked seven points.

Meanwhile, Grove suffered a 6-0 defeat at home to Newbury Blues in South West 1 East.

Craig Burrows’ side are now without a win since November 21.

Graham Sage kicked a 78th-minute penalty to earn Wallingford a 17-17 draw against Beaconsfield in Southern Counties North.

Tries from Anthony Marris and Ian Jeffreys, both converted by Phil Dawes, saw the south Oxfordshire outfit lead 14-7 at the break.

But Beaconsfield hit back with two unconverted tries to take the lead.

Wallingford pushed for a score, but were forced to leave it late when Sage slotted a penalty with two minutes to go to earn a draw.
