South West 1: Young New Zealander Sam McIvor scored two tries as Chinnor came from behind to snatch a dramatic 28-24 victory over rejuvented Bridgwater & Albion at Kingsey Road.

The 18-year-old winger, playing his third league game, helped Chinnor to fight back from 21-12 down for their fourth win in five games.

The home side had not handled the ball before Bridgwater flanker Marshall Cormack scored a try from rolling maul, Andrew George converting.

Chinnor replied when a storming 40-metre run by David Seymour set up McIvor's first try which James Hewitt converted from the touchline, but Bridgwater regained the lead with a try by skipper Ransom, converted by George.

On the stroke of half-time, Chinnor's Tom Wood forced his way over near the corner to make it 14-12, only for the visitors to increase their lead with a converted try by Cormack from yet another rolling maul.

James Cathcart, taking over the kicking duties for Chinnor, and George exchanged penalties, before McIvor chipped the ball over the covering defence and won the race for the touchdown.

With Cathcart converting from the touchline and kicking a towering penalty from 48 metres, Chinnor found themselves ahead for the first time.

A further Cathcart penalty sealed a memorable win.

Playing their first ever game in Cornwall, Oxford Harlequins ran out 36-7 winners over bottom club Truro on a sodden pitch.

It was remarkable that the game was played at all.

After the worst weather in the area for several years, the pitch had more than an inch of snow on it at dawn.

But the sun came out and Truro officials forked the pitch for an hour before kick-off to get the game on.

Quins lost No 8 Paul Nye, who pulled a muscle in the pre-match warm-up, Chris Ashton deputising.

This did not appear to worry them, and despite playing into the wind, they raced into a 10-0 lead with a penalty by fly half Chris Penney and a try by full back Dave Boreham, who followed up Martin Nutt's chip kick. Penney converted.

Truro made it 10-7 at half-time with a pushover try by flanker Ed Lawrence, converted by full back John Cowl.

Early in the second half, Cowl suffered a serious neck injury. An ambulance was called, but he could not be moved, so the game was held up for 15 minutes.

By then, Quins had already increased their lead with a brilliant try by Nutt, which Penney converted.

It was all Quins now and they added three more tries, from Boreham, replacement Brian Graham and outstanding flanker Shaun Baxter. Penney added the conversion to take his tally to 11 points.
