A hat-trick of tries from winger Rob Kempton and some fine attacking runs from Jack Whitehouse helped Aylesbury U-15’s to a comfortable 32-17 win away at High Wycombe in round one of the Bucks Cup on Sunday.Aylesbury’s first competitive game of the season didn’t start well, as Wycombe’s strong pack quickly laid siege to their visitor’s line, resulting in an early try.  Aylesbury fought back with some fine kicking, allowing Kempton to level the score with a battling run down the right.  Good scrummaging and distribution helped Aylesbury maintain territorial advantage in the first half and a swerving run from scrum-half Charlie Esdon scored A’s second try, converted by Whitehouse, to put Aylesbury 12-5 ahead at the break.

In the second half, Tawanda Bwerudza stormed through with an early try from short range, after a long penetrating run from Whitehouse had set up a scrum-five.  Wycombe immediately struck back however, after another show of power on the Aylesbury line.  Aylesbury then responded with sustained attacks into the Wycombe half, resulting in two further tries for Kempton and a well deserved solo effort from Whitehouse, to put the result beyond doubt.  Wycombe rallied for a consolation try & conversion just before the end, but it was too late to prevent revenge for Aylesbury for their defeat by Wycombe in last year’s competition.
