Farnham extended their unbeaten run in Regional Two South Central with a 31-7 win at home to Chichester.

Farnham kicked off towards a gentle breeze and Chichester looked to box from the resulting ruck.

Oscar Henderson rose highest to claim the up and under and released Jonny Vincent to give Farnham front-foot ball inside the opposition half.

Farnham moved the ball across to Ben Stevens, who touched down in the corner to put Farnham 5-0 up. Captain Toby Salmon added the touchline conversion to make it 7-0.

The home side then won a penalty and kicked to the corner. After a short catch and drive Farnham couldn’t quite break the whitewash but had the advantage for Chichester being offside. This time they opted for the five-metre scrum.

Henderson lifted the ball to debutant Matthew Hunt, who passed to Toby Simmons. Simmons gathered the ball out wide and dotted down to make it 12-0.

Salmon added the extras to make it 14-0 with 15 minutes gone.

Farnham then won a penalty from a scrum and decided to scrum again. Farnham got the ball out and found Stevens, who went over for his second try in the left corner.

Salmon added the conversion to make it 21-0 with five minutes left in the half.

In the second half Farnham won a penalty and looked to find the bottom left corner.

A catch and drive and a rolling maul from the throw in at the lineout led to a try for Jack Bemelmans which secured the try bonus point.

Salmon added the extras to make it 28-0 with just under half an hour left.

Chichester scored a try under the posts to make it 28-7, but Farnham then won a penalty and Salmon added three points to seal the win.

Farnham will travel to Wimborne on Saturday, November 9.
