A NIGHTMARE second half saw Chinnor suffer a 55-10 hammering at Havant in National 3 South.

The visitors trailed 13-3 at the break, but conceded six more tries to take the points against tally to 140 in two matches.

Chinnor started with intent and territorially were a match for their opponents.

Pressure should realise points, but unfortunately Chinnor seem to have lost the knack of supplying the scoring pass.

With almost their first foray forward, Havant took the lead thanks to flanker Dylan Raubenheimer's try from a rolling maul.

Chinnor responded with a penalty by Richard Williams, but this was matched by Havant fly half Ngapaku Ngapaku.

Fly half Williams failed with three further attempts at goal before home lock Nick Whittle bagged a try in the fifth minute of first-half injury time.

After the break, a combination of bad defence, ill-directed kicking and simple handling errors gifted tries to a pumped up Havant.

A score from centre Andrew Cheung-Fook two minutes after the restart opened the flood gates.

Further tries were scored at regular intervals by scrum half Sam Hardcastle (2), his second after waltzing through an entire wrong-footed defence.

Centre Stephen Stapleton, No 8 Graeme Frith and winger Nick Hannibal also crossed.

That Ngapaku converted all six only compounded Chinnor's woes.

They did score a consolation try in the final stages when centre Anthony Pyers went over with Williams converting.

For Chinnor, Ben Hewitt again showed touches of class with stand-in skipper Matt Hutchins never giving up and leading from the front.
