OAKMEADIANS went down 41-19 at home to Chippenham in the other Dorset and Wiltshire Cup semi-final.

Despite the two leagues separating the teams, Oaks gave a good account of themselves and it was only in the final stages of the game that the Wiltshire side's class prevailed.

Scott Simmonds was instrumental for the South West One outfit as they built a hefty 22-7 lead at half time.

But Olly Tidd got Oaks' reward for persistence when he worked hard to get his name on the score sheet late in the first half.

After the break Oaks went all out to reduce the deficit but Chippenham were difficult to break down and continued to build on their lead, with Sam Alford scoring a fabulous solo try.

Captain Jack Hennings picked up two consolation tries for the Meyrick Park side but despite a late resurgence, Chippenham held strong.

Oaks: Ball, Clarke, Notobartolo, Tidd, Tait, Smith, Harman, Garrett, Corbett, Riley, Raileanu, Richards, Hennings, Stradwick, Hokianga. Subs: Cook, R Stephenson. Hudson, Ivory.
