CHINNOR snatched a dramatic win deep into injury time when George Worboys kept his cool to slot over a penalty from 35 metres.

And the hosts showed great spirit to pull themselves back from 5- 21 down after 47 minutes when Allen borrowed through to give the visitors a seemingly comfortable lead.

Moseley's Creed opened the scoring after 11 minutes and Maxwell converted.

Chinnor hit back when Alun Walker scored his usual try from the back of an unstoppable maul. The prolific Walker was to end up with a hat-trick.

Just before the break, Moseley's Jolly dived over, and they extended their lead when Allen crossed after 47.

Chinnor then kicked into action, with Walker notching completing his treble and Warboys adding a superb conversion. But a Maxwell penalty took the visitors 17-24 ahead.

But Maxwell dropped the restart and from the ensuing scrum, Ryan came round the corner and the captain was unstoppable as he carried half the Moseley team over to score for Worboys to convert.

The Titanic clash reached its denouement when Passman got a crucial turnover and Worboys stepped up to seal the win.
