AMERSHAM and Chiltern Rugby Club kept up their chase on the South West Two title with an 18-14 win over local rivals High Wycombe at Weedon Lane last weekend.

And on Saturday they will be looking to complete a derby double when they take on mid-table Marlow.

A win at Riverwoods this weekend will see Amersham claim ten league wins on the trot.

The last time the two Bucks sides met Chiltern ran out 30-10 winners but Marlow have had a good start to their new year.

They claimed their first win in four league games when they saw off Tadley 16-14 last weekend.

Meanwhile, struggling High Wycombe failed to change their fortunes at Weedon Lane last Saturday.

They are rooted to the bottom of the table, level on points with Witney but four points adrift of third-from-bottom Stow.

Wycs travel to fourth-from-bottom Olney on Saturday where they will be looking to pick up only their second win of the campaign.

Last Saturday against Amersham, Wycs got off to the best of starts before the joint-leaders staged a remarkable comeback.

The visitors raced to a 14-0 lead to make a mockery of their league position.

Hooker Rob Dorling got Wycs started with a 45 yard run before touching down and Richie Blunden added a second, both of which were converted to make it 14-0.

But the prolific Dave Richardson came to Amersham's rescue with five penalties and a drop goal. With Wycs failing to get on the scoreboard again, Richardson's efforts were enough to save his team's blushes.

Elsewhere, Marlow had a tough battle against Tadley but came through to claim their first win since the beginning of November.

Marlow enjoyed plenty of possession but made a meal of their victory in a performance that gave new coach Richard Kinsey plenty to think about.

Ross Coull's converted try saw Marlow race to an early 7-0 lead but they were pegged back when the Tadley scrum half scored a brilliant individual try against the run of play.

A penalty and a drop goal from Murray Walker kept Marlow ahead but Tadley upset Marlow's flow again seven minutes into the second half when they broke away to take a 14-13 lead.

And it came down to a last-minute kick from Walker to give Marlow victory. He booted a 45 metre penalty between the sticks to restore Marlow's lead with just injury time remaining.
