Despite losing this game by one point Chard managed to pick up two bonus points and with their nearest rivals Wiveliscombe losing at Castle Cary these two points ensured that the 2nds more often known as THE WING COMMANDERS these days are certain to be the league champions and will get promoted into Somerset Division One next season. Wivey do have two games in hand but will have to be content with being runners up what ever the results of their last three games.
A tremendous achievement and congratulations to all the players and their coaches. Thoroughly deserved.
Mid-table Winscombe turned up at Chard with a somewhat stronger side than normal as apparently their 1st xv did not have a fixture but in truth Chard played really well and if they had had a regular goal kicker in their team they would surely have won a game in which they scored five unconverted tries!
Dylan Moss opened the scoring for Chard with a penalty and their tries were scored by Warren Lewis, Scott Johnson 2, Billy Vernon and Andrew Mosley.
Chard came so close to winning the game after at one point being down by 8-22 but it was in many ways the teams best performance of the season and they got a fitting reward which was followed by a quiet evening!!
Chard play their final game of the season next Saturday away at Wiveliscombe (2.30pm)
