Chester 2nds dominated their home game with Jarrow from the start to beat Jarrovians in emphatic style.

There were only five minutes on the clock when Chester got their first score through a close range try from Phil Barron. Jeff Thirlaway kicked the conversion as he would also do for Chester's next five tries.

Two more quick well worked tries followed from Colin wilson and Jon Ogley.

From the resulting Jarrow kick off Chester scored the best try of the game. Mick Frost caught the ball cleanly on the Chester 22 yard line and popped the ball to hooker, Norman Laws who ran the ball some 75 yards through the Jarrow defence for a magnificent solo try.

Thirlaway got himself a try at the beginning of the second half which he duly converted and some slack defending from Chester allowed Jarrow to run in two unconverted tries towards the end. This was yet another fine game from Chester-le-Street who dominated throughout with commanding line outs and scrummaging.

Chester-le-Street 1st XV totally dominated their Durham Challenge cup tie at Newton Aycliffe without ever getting out of first gear.

Chester's front five dominated the scrummages and lineouts throughout and made life difficult for the opposition in all the tight play. Chester scored two tries from Alan Telford and one from Dan Monk in the first half, two of which were converted by Alan Woodhead at fullback.

The second half saw further tries from Michael Robinson, Michael Surtees, Paul Dobbs, and a hat trick clincher from Alan Telford, which was converted by Terry Ottaway, while restricting Aycliffe to one close range effort, all of which meant the final score was 41-5.

Chester Under-15s played very well against quality oppostion in Novocastrians and managed an impressive result, with captain Andrew Rodenby and man of the match Ben Langley to the fore. Centre Nathan Hope also had an impressive game in a 50-10 win.

A great weekend for the club was completed when the Under-14 team also emerged victorious against New castle West End.
