Chinnor 66, Wallingford 7

Chinnor produced the sort of open running game Oxford Harlequins are renowned for as they strode into the Oxfordshire Cup final.

With their pacey backs firing on all cylinders, Chinnor ran in ten tries to set up a final meeting with holders Quins.

Wallingford competed better than the scoreline suggests, but were always second best as home full back Phil Huxford and wing Pip Seymour led the rout with try trebles.

Chinnor were the strongest opposition Wallingford have faced in their history, but the visitors began full of resolve and purpose.

Seymour could well have had two tries before Chinnor took the lead, but was foiled by a knock-on and then a forward pass.

Wallingford were initially disciplined and organised in defence, but on 18 minutes Seymour took a pass from No 8 Zane Winslade and beat visiting scrum half Derek Viljoen to score.

Fly half Ben Hewitt slotted an excellent conversion from out wide and delivered a kicking display that absent No 10 James Cathcart would have struggled to better.

Former Wallingford player Jaike Carter was a constant menace for his ex-teammates, but wasted a 23rd-minute overlap by overcomplicating.

His opposite number Henry Pooler led a decent counter-attack as Wallingford stayed in the game, but the final ten minutes of the half killed them off.

Chinnor hooker Alan Cawston, a former full back, danced his way over on the left for 12-0.

Two minutes later, captain Matt Hutchings scored from a powerful driving maul and Hewitt converted.

Seymour showed great balance to cut inside for try No 4 on 36 minutes and Huxford finished a dynamic backs move in stoppage time, Hewitt converting both.

With the wind now behind them, Wallingford may have hoped to fare better, but Carter put paid to that with a 42nd-minute try that stemmed from Martyn O'Mahony's left wing break.

Huxford soon had his second after beating Wallingford flanker Matt Chapman to a bouncing ball and sprinting in.

Hewitt's conversion made it 45-0, but Wallingford showed great spirit to score their sole try.

From a decent attacking platform, Viljoen's tapped penalty found centre Johnny Collett, who showed good strength to power over and wing Ralph Smith converted.

Seymour broke clear for the simplest run-in to notch his hat-trick on 59 minutes and was promptly replaced!

Hewitt converted this and the remaining two tries.

In between, Chinnor flanker Andrew McGuire was sin-binned, but it didn't stem the tide for Wallingford.

On 66 minutes, O'Mahony notched a deserved try after being set free by replacement prop Joe Iosefo-Peni.

Hewitt stopped Wallingford's giant lock Mike Turner with a memorable hit before Huxford sliced through with ease for his hat-trick try on 77 minutes.

Wallingford ended the game pressing for a second try, but were held up.
