Chinnor snatched defeat from the jaws of victory to lose 17-15 in their EDF Energy National Trophy tie at home to North Walsham on Saturday The hosts led 15-5, but were evetually undone by a stoppage time converted try in one of the longest matches ever seen at Kingsey Road.

The clock had passed the 100-minute mark before the referee blew for full time.

Chinnor got off to the brightest of starts with a try by centre Anthony Pyers after just three minutes, which fly half Richard Williams converted.

Winger Iain Young's quick break set up Walsham's opening try for No 8 Sam Herrington but Williams's penalty put Chinnor 10-5 up at the break.

The hosts again started brightly in the second half when prop Joe Winpenny delivered the perfect wide pass to put winger Martyn O'Mahony in for try No 2.

Chinnor were gaining control, but the crucial moment came on the hour.

North Walsham conceded a penalty on the 22 in front of their posts, but Chinnor opted for a scrum. From here, Young was able to gallop 80 metres to run in a try.

Walsham's persistence was rewarded with a catch-and-drive try for prop Ed Wallace, and Young completed the comeback with a touchline conversion.
