Heathfield travelled to Tonbridge without 5 of their Sussex players and played against a Juddian side without their Kent players. In a really tight first half it was the tackling that really caught the eye. Heathfield centres Imran Iqbal and Campbell Lacey together with Josh Eaton at Wing all had storming games tackling everything that came near them.Good running by  Wing Nic Evans and Full back Ben O'Connell gave the side good field position. But it was the powerful running of No.8 Larry Platt that gave Juddians their biggest problems.

 

The Heathfield front row of Ben Davis, Alex Hope and Thomas Pudsie Pring were made to work hard particularly in the first half and it was Juddians that conceeded the 1st points when they gave away a penalty right infront of their own posts which Greg Salmon duly slotted.

 

The half ended with the visitors hanging on to the narrowest of leads.

 

The second half was Heathfields however with the forwards taking command more and several bullocking runs again by Platt and second row Ben Darcy and replacement prop Ollie Hancock kept Juddians pinned down. It was Platt who scored the only try of the game from a scrum on the 22 yard line and the home defence were unable to stop him.

 

Heathfield play their last League match of the season next sunday against Hastings at Home.
