South Wales Warriers 14 Chilterns Cheetahs 24 (h/t 14-12)
Chiltern travelled to Cardiff Sunday, with a much weakened squad due to injury and holidays but run out worthy winners in a see saw encounter.
Chilterns first possession started brightly with Stewart May running for 38yds, which set up an 8yd pass from Rob Suttling to Brendan Peek to open the scoring (0-6) The Warriors took possession of the ball and moved it well but failed to find an opening and on Chilterns next possession suttling once again found Peek, this time from 23yds out to increase the lead to 12.
The second Qtr. was an exact opposite of the first with the Warriors in control, scoring first on a 3yd run and then with a 50yd interception return for a touchdown taking the half time score to 14-12 in their favour. Chilterns defence stepped up in the third Qtr. allowing the warriors only 30yds offence and Frank Mayo took his first of 3 interceptions. This fired up the offence and they got their reward when Andy Cochrane got his first Touchdown of the day.
This put the Warriors in to a catch-up game and on 2 occassions when they were threatening, were picked off by Mayo. Chiltern sealed the game inside the last 2 minutes, when Andy Cochrane ran in from 7yds.
Notable performances were from Andy Cochrane, 81yds rushing and 2 T.D.s, Brendan Peek 55yds receiving on 3 catches with 2 T.D.s. On defence Jim Logdon with 11 tackles, Matt Brown 10 tackles, 2 sacks and Frank Mayo with 3 interceptions.
