Boars 14 Robertsbridge 10

1st half
Boars 10m line scrum, poor ball from back of scrum so called hands 
along line, Dave Rhodes to Brady to Julian to Adam to Rob Woods 
who opened his legs and went round his man in the corner and ran 
round under the posts. Rob Woods then kicked the conversion.
 
Robertsbridge then scored a try when the Boars won a 
Robertsbridge ball at line out but it was tapped past scrum half 
Rhodes and the Robertsbridge flanker was through and onto ball 
and over to score from 25m out.
 
2nd half
Scrum to Boars on opposition 22, Dave to Brady dummy scissors with
Julian, pop to Adam who handed off opposition prop and over by the foot 
of the post. Conv Rob Woods
75mins
Ball won and caught at line out by Boars. D.R. to Brady on the loop missed pass dropped 
and Roberstbridge through to score under posts. Conversion missed.
 
Overall the Boars scrum stood up well against the heavy Robertsbridge pack. Paul Squires 
on his first time in front row did exceptionally well and deserved his Man of Match award. 
The Boars got turned over by taking the ball on two yards too many and not passing early 
enough even when overlap available.
 
Notable performances were put in by Rob Woods and Joe Henry (Rob Streeter was as 
usual working hard all over field).

 

Boars Squad - Joe Geesin, Andy Sutton, Paul Squires, Tony Rose (Josh Henry – 60),

John Parsons, Jim Cummings, Kenny Lewis (Ben Taylor – 55), Rob Streeter, Dave Rhodes,

Brady Burdett, Adam Farrell (Duncan Hesketh – 60), Paul Jarvis (Julian Wates - 2),

Simon Hollingdale, Joe Henry, Rob Woods (Unused sub – Keith Davies)

Heathfield Boars 24 vs Newick 17

The Boars Are Back With A Win!

 

The Boars travelled to Newick for a friendly for the first time in years as our old foes in Sussex Division 3 east have elevated themselves to Division 2 east following the league reorganisation this year.

 

About 30 Newick players were warming up for the match in late summer sunshine and the Boars were a little nervous prior to kick off as it was clear that there were first team and colts mixing with the second team opposition they were promised. However Rob Streeter thumping into the Newick receiver straight from the kick put the Boars tails up and it was game on.

 

The Boars relatively lightweight pack put themselves about well and won enough ball to discover that the backs were interested too. However missed tackles led to a Newick try after about 15 minutes. Jack Bayley restored parity when he took a crash ball on a lovely angle that took him between the posts. Half time saw a lot of substitutions, mainly from the Newick camp.

 

Simon Hollingdale proved that he wants to retain his ‘Top Gun’ status when he took his only opportunity of the game early in the second half by beating two men in the 22 metre area to score in the corner. Dave Rhodes hit a great conversion.

 

Newick came back with a try on the wide right and their 13 put over the conversion to emulate Boars Man of the match Rhodes.

 

Following a quickly taken penalty Julian Wates spurned an overlap when he saw a gap in front of him 10 metres out and bullied his way over to score an unconverted try.

 

Newick again came back with a good forward move that saw them score by the posts with 3 minutes left to tie the game at 17 – 17.

 

The Boars got the decisive score when Tommy Kiwi made a great initial run to within 10 metres then good support recycled the ball out wide for Adam Farrell to cut back in and top off a very good personal performance by scoring. Rhodes converted and Heathfield weather the last 2 minutes of Newick pressure to gain a hard fought and very enjoyable first win of the season.

 

Newick proved great hosts and a BBQ was enjoyed by all who remembered that the Heathfield clubhouse was ‘closed’ for the evening.

 

Boars Team – Mike Fellows, Andy Sutton (Jason La Roche – 40), Joe Geesin (Bryn Groves – 40), Paul Hookway, Mike MacLeod, Ben Taylor, Kenny Lewis, Rob Streeter, Dave Rhodes, Brady Burdett (Julian Wates - 40), Tommy Kiwi, Adam Farrell, Simon Hollingdale, Keith Davies, Jack Bayley.

Demelza-James Hospice for Children.

Heathfield & Waldron RFC recently presented cheques totalling £779.00 to the Demelza-James Hospice for Children.  The donation was half that raised during a lunch to celebrate the inclusion of Lady Vice Presidents within the Club, and a dinner that featured senior players cooking for and waiting on the Ladies. 

 

Club President Mike de St. Croix said “I am very happy that we are able to include Demelza-James in the Club’s fund-raising activities, and hope that we can add to this amount in the coming season.  Children are obviously very important to the Club, both now and in the future, so a children’s charity makes perfect sense”.

 

H&W RFC hope to host a tea for some of the children and their siblings from Demelza-James during a match when the new season starts, and also to publish and sell a Rugby Calendar for 2008, with half of the proceeds again going to Demelza-James.

 

For further information, please contact Debbie Green on 07742 585768
