CHINNOR ran in nine tries to beat Worthing Raiders 57-10 at Kingsey Road and stay top of the table despite playing with 14 men for 48 minutes.

Captain Danny Barnes was sent off in the first half, with the home side enjoying a slender 12-10 lead.

But being a man down did not affect the National League 2 South leaders as they added 45 unanswered points after the break to keep their 100 per cent home record intact.

Chinnor took the lead on five minutes, when Steve Castle went over.

Worthing replied through Matthew McLean’s penalty, but a converted try from Nathan Hannay made it 12-3 to the home side.

On 32 minutes, Barnes was red carded for careless footwork and the visitors capitalised, with Dan Sargent going over.

But despite being a man down, Chinnor’s pack proved the driving force behind a dominant second half.

A rolling maul led to a Tom Burns try, before Gus Jones went over in similar fashion to make it 24-10.

Sam Angell’s individual effort extended Chinnor’s lead and they were out of sight when Keiron Goss and Hannay also crossed.

Worthing had a man sent to the sin-bin and the hosts added two more tries, when Bevon Armitage and Jamie Townsend dived over.

Angell converted six tries as he scored 17 points overall.

Louis Flynn’s last-minute try earned Henley Hawks a much-needed 25-24 victory at home to London Irish Wild Geese.

A penalty from Ollie Turner put the visitors in front and it was soon 10-0, when Matthew Killeen cut through some weak tackling to score.

Henley struggled to penetrate a well-organised defence.

But they began to dominate possession and a driving line-out led to Stuart Phillpot touching down for an unconverted try.

In the second half, Hawks’ George Jackson kicked a penalty to reduce the arrears to two points.

But a lapse in concentration allowed Tyler Bush to go over for Irish and make it 17-8.

Henley dug deep and, after Kerry O’Sullivan was sin-binned for the visitors, Connor Hayhow crossed in the corner.

However, the visitors hit straight back, thanks to Ben Kitching’s try on 64 minutes, for a 24-13 lead.

Davies’s side were not finished, though, with Marcus Lowe touching down to give them hope of an important victory.

Hawks pressed in a frantic last couple of minutes and a driving maul led to Flynn going over for a bonus point win.

Jackson converted the penultimate try for Hawks, while Irish’s Turner added the extras on three occasions.
