Aylesbury under 17's met local rivals Amersham and Chiltern in the semi final of the South West Bowl competition on Sunday 30th march at Weedon lane. The pitch was very heavy although the sun was out.
Aylesbury Started the game with a quick try by pacey winger Rich Nicholls after receiving a peach of a pass from in form Fullback Wes McGympsy. Amersham replied in kind with a well worked try and conversion. Aylesbury then had to soak up the pressure from a big Amersham pack, who just before half time scored a push over try to leave the score 12 to 5 to A&C. The second half started as the first half had finished with a further try from the A&C pack, Aylesbury then rallied and took charge of the game and dominated both possession and territory, they kicked to penalties as A&C lost their discipline under the pressure, however as the under foot conditions worsened and with Aylesbury spending most of the remainder of the match in the opposition half they were unable to come back with a match winner, and some fantastic line breaks by both fly half Corey Hircock and Wes McGympsy under lined the A's attitude. However it was not to be as the game ended with a 17 to 11 win for the hosts. We wish A&C all the best in the final against Bristol .
