STILL smarting after last week's defeat against Maidenhead which deprived them of a play-off position, Chinnor start the second half of their South West 1 programme with a trip to Gloucester Old Boys.

"To say I was disappointed after last week's performance would be an understatement," said Chinnor coach John Brodley, ahead of tomorrow's game.
