For the second year running Chelmsford Development XV travelled to Finals day in the main cup competition of Division 4 East.
Against close rivals Basildon, a fine selection of old and new gathered at Rochford RFC.
Unfortunately a enthusiastic Basildon side attacked well and defended resolutely outscoring Chelmsford three tries to one.
A very successful season will hopefully see promotion when the new leagues are issued for the 2024/25 season.
