Amersham & Chiltern Rugby’s Bucks Cup Final against Marlow was abandoned last Friday after a Marlow player suffered a neck injury.
Thankfully the player has recovered after receiving lengthy treatment and was eventually able to walk unaided to the changing rooms.
Despite his recovery the length of the treatment meant that the game was called off by the match officials with around 10 minutes remaining in the first half.
The injury occurred as a strong Chiltern drive under the posts put pressure on the Marlow defence and left one of their players lying prone on the ground.
As far as the actual action was concerned before the game was stopped Marlow started brightly and went ahead with a penalty inside five minutes.
Amersham hit back though and Sam Portland went over in the corner for a well taken try before Ollie Choules added the extras with an excellent conversion.
Chiltern were now beginning to play the better rugby and the game was ended as they started to turn the screw on their opponents.
The final will now be rescheduled and is likely to be replayed at some point in the New Year but is yet to receive a definitive date.
