Saturday saw Heathfield and Waldron’s newly formed 5th team “The Lost Boys” taking to the pitch for the very first time against a mixed all comer’s team from Eastbourne.
Under the Captainship of Mike “HOOK” Fellows and with team management (water boy and general dog’s body) George “Wendy” Warren, this team was formed by old boys of the club who were slowly passing in to obscurity but not yet ready to pass on completely.
When Eastbourne ran out on to the pitch with a mixture of youth and first team experience it was the common opinion in the club house that this could be the first and last game for the Lost Boys. However the Lost Boys substantially greater years and weight managed just enough to put up a fight and make a game of it.
The port at half time gave the Lost Boys new heart and a certain amount of courage and they took Eastbourne all the way to the last whistle with a final score to the home side of 12 -10.
The game was enjoyed by all, not least due to the unique refereeing style of Mike “Nana” McLeod. Mention must also go to the appearance of the Oz wonder winger Paul “Smee” Squires in the second row for the first and hopefully last time.
So if you are old overweight and talk a better game than you play please get in touch and join the Heathfield Lost Boys...
