Barnes Colts continued their campaign in the Surrey League, Twickenham Cup, against Chobham Colts last Sunday.

Chobham are undefeated in the league this year, so we knew the challenge ahead was a big one.

From the kick off Chobham ran hard at Barnes, but some heroic last gasp defence repeatedly held them out, with Ricky even scoring a break away try against the run of play for Barnes to lead 5-0.

Chobham then scored, but Barnes were not ready to throw the towel in with Max securing a catch off a cross field kick to score and take the lead 10-5.

The next period was dominated by Chobham who, despite one more try from Barnes, secured the win, 15-25.

Barnes are learning quickly this year, and losing 4 tries to 3 is no disgrace.

We will lick our wounds, learn and come back stronger next weekend away to Old Cranleighians.
