CHELMSFORD Rugby Club won their opening London Two North East league encounter at Rochford last weekend with an ultimately convincing 29-17 victory, scoring four excellent tries and in the process securing a bonus point victory. 

With 10 of the side coming up through the colts system and five other players making their first team debuts, there is a younger look to the squad this season. 

Debutant winger, Will Ferrier and full back Jamie Ash both scored two tries each and could have scored more had the final pass gone to hand.  

Even so coach Eddie Gooby can be pleased with the overall performance, but acknowledged that the score could have been more against a Rochford side who have suffered this pre-season with the loss of several key players to both London One outfit Thurrock and National league side Southend.
