A WOEFUL first half display dominated by their opponents put paid to any hope of victory in a crucial Somerset Premier Division match for Chard.

A seven try defeat at the hands of Wiveliscombe puts Chard firmly in the relegation zone and unless they can find some inspiration, their place in the division is in a great deal of doubt.

An away match on January 24 ended in a 10-37 defeat for Chard. For a full match report see today's edition of the News (January 28).
