Cleeve have no answer to Under 15s
From the Swindon Advertiser, first published Tuesday 10th Dec 2002.
Chippenham's Under 15s were in no mood to give any ground against a strong Bristol line-up and the Wiltshire side ran out comfortable 34-0 winners.
They ran in six tries to which Bristol had no answer to, leaving coach Roger Surry delighted.
Surry said: "It was a very pleasing performance especially against such a strong and aggressive pack.
"But eventually Bristol were beaten in all facets of the game.''
Surry was also delighted with Max Sparrow a convert to the game from football.
He said: "He showed some exceptional skills, considering he is a newcomer to rugby.''
Chippenham got off to a good start and, after an electrifying break from full-back Sean Kingsbury, Ashley Hurcombe was put clear for the first try.
A dominant style of driving runs and rolling mauls then resulted in the second from the No 7 Mike Smith.
At the turnaround, excellent counter-attacking and quick handling from the entire back line gave Matthew Clarke the chance to score wide out on the left.
This was quickly followed by Jason Deamer's customary score after excellent support play and clean possession which tied in the whole of the defence.
The half-backs began to vary the play, while Bristol were kept at bay by determined defence.
Michael Harvey then scored his first try for Chippenham after making a break and finishing the move.
Michael Baptiste showed his scorching pace and slick side-step to go round his opposite winger, outflank the defence and run round to touch down between the posts.
Fraser Brown added conversions for the last two tries to complete the scoring.
