CHILTERN CHEETAHS 6 - 16 SABRES (H/T 6 - 8) A close battle was played on Sunday at Amersham & Chiltern Rugby Club as the Cheetahs entertained the Sabres from Southend. Chiltern Kick-off and some good running by the Sabres offence on their first drive nearly opened the scoring, but failed to convert a 4th down in the scoring zone. Chiltern's offence where slow in getting going as both sides pushed for the opening score with came in the 2nd quarter by Sabres running back James Thomas on a 1 yard run. Thomas then run in the extra point (0 - 8). With a 1:44 let in the half Chiltern's Deniz Karagulle short pass found Quantez Scroggins who ran 35 yards for the Touchdown. The same pair combined on the extra point attempt, but Scroggins was tackled before the end zone, leaving the Sabres in a 2 point advantage at the half (6 - 8). The 3rd quarter was controlled by both team Defences as neither side came close to scoring, and it looked the same in the 4th quarter but with turnovers and Chiltern Nick Michael picked off a James Dawson pass but only for Sabres Lee Walsh to Interception Karagulle on the next play. Sabres Justin Moreton picked off another Karagulle pass with less the 2 minutes left in the game and returned it into the scoring zone, as 3 plays later Thomas scored again, this time from 2 yards out, then completed the scoring by running in the extra point to give the Sabres their third win of the season. Chiltern most now win their remaining 2 fixtures, both away, to send any chance of reaching the play-off's.
