WILD AT HEART Meet the Wildboys, Chinnor’s all-conquering third team! They can claim to have the longest current unbeaten sequence of any senior team in England with 69 wins and two draws since January 2018.
The side was launched in 2013 to give local players a chance to enjoy the game and make friends for life. Scrum-half Daniel Coulon, joint captain with full-back Harry Lowe, said: “We’re a team of mates. That’s why we’ve done so well.”
They’ve won three consecutive league titles and now head the C1 Southern North table with 11 straight victories. Other key contributors are head coach Frank Jones, backs mentor Sam Angell and team manager Hywel Evans.
Why Wildboys? Coulon added: “Our brand of rugby aims at being ‘Wild’ with a big emphasis on the social side. It’s also fitting because the team song is Duran Duran’s The Wild Boys.”
