Oxford Harlequins' coach Matt Maudsley rolled back the years to help his side to a 27-14 win over Penryn at Horspath Road in Powergen South West 1, which means they jump back above local rivals Chinnor.

The former Henley player came in for his first match of the season to help Quins' injury problems and had an assured game at stand off, as well as slotting four kicks.

The Cornish side opened strongly, but Quins went ahead with a Maudsley penalty, Penryn scrum half Pascoe replying in kind to level the scores.

With Maudsley keeping the ball moving at every opportunity and forwards Simon Chadbone and Paul Nye to the fore up front, Quins went ahead when Nye drove over.

A second Pascoe penalty cut the gap to 8-6 by half-time and an unconverted try after the break gave the visitors the lead for the first time.

Two excellent Maudsley penalties put Quins ahead, only for Pascoe to tie the scores again at 14 apeice.

Quins then wrapped up the points with two tries. A quick penalty by scrum half Anthony Cope set up full back Dave Boreham for the first, with left wing Elio Recchia dancing over in the corner for the second.

Maudsley completed the scoring with a penalty.

Chinnor let slip an 11-3 half-time lead to go down 16-14 at home to Maidenhead.

The dominant home side should have had the game wrapped up in the first half.

Following an early exchange of penalties, James Cathcart being successful for Chinnor, Richard Major's try put the home side in command.

A further Cathcart penalty Chinnor gave them an eight-point cushion at the interval, but a slice of naivety then cost them dear.

They took a tap penalty instead of putting the ball into touch, which led to Maidenhead scoring under the posts. The conversion, followed by a penalty, meant the visitors were in front.

Cathcart nosed Chinnor back into the lead with a penalty, only for Maidenhead to hit back in similar fashion and hold on for victory.
