Aylesbury U15’s notched up their second away win of the season with a sparkling first half display in their match against Chesham on Sunday.On a clear and blustery day, A’s took the initiative right from the start and ran in two tries in the opening 10 minutes. The first came from Scrum-Half Charlie Esdon with a fast swerving run and the second from Inside Centre Jack Whitehouse, down the left hand side, following a powerful drive through the middle by No.8 Tawanda Bwerudza. Chesham recovered to peg one try back but Aylesbury maintained the initiative with a superb solo effort between the posts from Whitehouse. Outside Centre Rob Kempton kept up the momentum with another try between the posts, converted by Whitehouse, followed by a fine individual, long kick-and-run try down the right. Chesham rallied to pull back a converted try just before half-time, to make it 27-12 in Aylesbury’s favour.
In the second half, both teams enjoyed good periods of territorial advantage but both were unable to capitalise on it. The powerful Chesham pack gave Aylesbury a number of problems to think about but good consistent tackling and ball handling kept A’s on top. Just as the half looked like it was going to end scoreless, Aylesbury Winger Matt Fitchett scored his first try of the season, following a great interception and sprint from within his own half. The home team then countered with their final try, squeezed right in the corner but, at the whistle, it was Aylesbury who ran-out clear winners by 32-17.
