Heathfield & Waldron Colts Development 24 - Haywards Heath B 12

A second beautiful Sunday on the trot saw Heathfield entertain Haywards Heath in the 2nd round of the league. For the second week on the trot Heathfield faced a bigger opposition but also a technically better team than last week.

It was a poor start by the home side who quickly let a rampant Haywards Heath run in a first unconverted try. The prospects weren't good. Heathfield looked disorganised and had missed tackles. But what happened next is already becoming a trade mark of this newly formed side. They got together and rebuilt their fortress defenso. The rest of the half was spent predominantly in the Haywards Heath half, this done through grit and determination and a converted try which had followed a long Heath attack was ground out and the teams turning round at 7 - 5.

The second half was another tough one but Heathfield scored again to make it 14 - 5. Haywards Heath were stung into action and brought the score back to 14 - 12 and the side line nerves were jangling, it looked like the tables were turning. BUT, Heathfield came back fighting and ended the game running in 2 tries to win 24 - 12. The delight on the players faces showed how much the victory meant to them. A win against Haywards Heath is something to be savoured.

Heathfield Dev XV 15 - Eastbourne 2nds 24

The first home League game for the Dev XV, was always going to be a hard fought battle against Eastbourne 2nds who last season were in the higher Reserve league.

In this much changed side, Oli Robertshaw and Bob Togher were welcomed back for their first game of the season.

Although Heathfield started well, being dominant in both the scrums and line out, they found it difficult to break down the Eastbourne defence despite hard running aggressive play from both centres Nick Seddon and Levi Willis.

Eastbourne were first to score, quickly followed by a second, both tries were of the breakaway type and did not represent how close the game was. Scrum half Mike Jaques, playing his last game for a while, as he is back to University, playing his usual terrier like game, was first to score for Heathfield finishing off a try that was engineered by the forwards who turned the ball over from a break down in play.

The second half was even closer with both sides scoring two tries. The first try was by Captain Levi Willis, who broke the strong tackling Eastbourne defence to reach out and just reach the goal line. A forwards try was scored by Oli Robertshaw after a series of rucks and mauls from which Heathfield managed to retain possession and Oli finally crossing the line. Hard working prop Chris Ambrosino almost put Joe Reilly away for a clear try, but the pass was judged forward by the referee, which should have made it a closer score line.

The standard of play has improved this season by the seconds, but we still have to raise our game a little more to be challenging for the top of the league at the end of the season.

Heathfield Boars 84 Haywards Heath 4’s 32

Boars win BIG

Early Heathfield pressure

Dave Rhodes ready to pu Dave Cook away

The Boars continued their campaign in division 2 with a surprising win over Haywards Heath 4’s. Lacking any recognised centres the Boars put dynamic young back row forward Sam Barrow and winger Simon Hollingdale in those positions. They did the job very well and came up with three tries apiece as the Boars forwards dominated their opposite numbers and gave their back line time to smash holes in the Heath defence.

Shaun "Poker Pro" Hipgrave digs out ball after the forwards good work

The first half was pretty even as HH used the Waldron slope to their advantage so Heathfield were very happy to turn round at half time 31-20 ahead.

From the restart the Boars hammered into Haywards Heath and kept them on the back foot all through the half. The Boars ran in eight tries while conceding only two and these from their own errors. The Boars played some champagne rugby in this half with good forward work allowing flowing passing moves to open gaps which led to the tries.

A good tackle from Bayley prevents HH from escaping

A welcome return by Shaun Hipgrave saw him bag two tries and the other scorers on the day were Jack Bayley, Brady Burdett, Dave Rhodes and Dave Cook who put three tries past his old team.

Man of the Match was close with Dave Cook and Sam Barrow challenging hard for the prize. However the award went to Jack Bayley for his non stop effort.

Boars Team – M. Fellows, J. Sharp, M. MacLeod, J. Parsons, T. Rose, J. Bayley, K. Lewis, D. Cook, D. Rhodes, B. Burdett, S. Barrow, S. Hollingdale, S. Hipgrave, P. Squires, M. Barber

Charlton Park 11 Heathfield &Waldron 10

A match lacking in quality rugby for the duration of normal time was brought to a thrilling and controversial climax by the referee’s decision to play over ten minutes of time added. Heathfield conceded a try in the very last minute of a match which they had looked like winning and Charlton Park, for the second consecutive week defeated a Sussex side by a single point.

Heathfield travelled to Charlton Park’s magnificent ground and started strongly converting a penalty in the first few minutes. Park’s normally reliable kicker missed a penalty from close range and with both sides fancied as leading contenders in the league a rather scrappy and nervy game developed. The early exchanges of the front rows were somewhat abrasive and words and minor nudges were exchanged between Sean Hammond and his heavyweight opposite number. Hammond recovered from a bloodied nose to have another outstanding game for his new club. Having settled more quickly than their hosts Heathfield gave notice that they were a force to be reckoned with when inside the first quarter their captain Bryn Jones rounded off some slick passing by forwards and backs inside the Park 22 to force his way over the try line in front of the posts. Matt Skinner converted and the Greenies led by ten points.

Heathfield held this lead until late in the game when Park reduced the deficit with a well taken penalty. Neither side were able to impose any kind of fluency in their play and both defended well throughout. There was much good spoiling work by both back rows as well as a certain amount of confusion with the interpretation of the laws at the breakdown. When Heathfield’s excellent mid field trio of Jones, Pestell and Skinner did receive some ball they made dents in the Park defence but the possession was slow and there were few opportunities for either side to use the pace of their wingers.

Just when the loyal band of supporters from Heathfield thought that their side had held onto their slender lead for a hard earned away win the referee issued yellow card to a Heathfield player and the Greenies, for the first time in the match lost their composure and conceded three penalties near to the Park line. From the final penalty the home side moved the ball quickly to one of their speedy wingers who gratefully crossed for the try that had eluded Park for the majority of the game. These two sides are due to meet twice more this season and both will hope to improve on the standard of rugby played on this occasion.

Heathfield & Waldron Colts Development Side 27 V Hastings & Bexhill Colts 5

Sunday morning brought with it the delight of a lovely sunny day and a great way to kick off the new League Season. It was the first league and indeed any game for the Development side ably lead by captain Rhys Evans. Due to late pull outs the side started with 14 men and young Jack Warren on the side line recovering from the U15 match earlier.

A side that included several players in unaccustomed positions came out with 2 instructions. Firstly to be strong in defence and to get straight in the oppositions face and secondly to have fun with the ball in possession which is pretty much what we got.

From the kick off Heathfield were straight at it. Whenever Hastings had the audacity to take possession we were on to them with big tackles throughout. An early attack saw Ben Cox on the first of many runs on the wing burst through 3 tackles to score an unconverted try. The signs were good but then came Heathfield's worst spell and a lack of cover in defence partly due to playing with 14 men and partly due to poor organisation Hastings broke our defence and scored their only 5 points.

Heathfield soon got the show back on the road and a strong run from Tom Keylock, playing at Outside Centre and not his customary Hooker role, moved the ball To Billie Hickson to score and Gregory Salmon converted. By now Jack had come on at Full Back and the shape of the game had changed.

Half time came with the score at 12 - 5.

Sean the Kiwi rallied the troops and asked for more exploitation of the space that Hastings were leaving at the back.

As instructed Heathfield now started attacking more. Hastings were firmly locked in their own half when they hoofed out a big clearance which Will Chipchase caught cleanly. He stepped the oncoming chaser with all the grace of Darcy Bussell ran on and moved the ball to Greg and then down through Jez Burdett and Tom. The ball was then held up but Heathfield secured and moved the ball to Greg, who was now kicking with confidence, he pushed the ball through and towards the try line. The chase was on and Jack was too quick for the defence and touched down.

Another scrum was won on the halfway line and the ball was moved down the line. Jez took the ball up and in the most sublime "show & go" made 10 metres, moved the ball to Tom Keylock who beat 1 man and moved the ball to "pocket rocket" Peter "Mole" Grimwade who bull dozed his way through 2 men before being stopped.

Heathfield were now firmly in command and won a scrum 5 metres out. from the resulting maul Peter Everett won the ball and stormed over to score.

The pressure mounted and Hastings started to give away penalties in a desperate attempt to stop the Heathfield Juggernaut. A tap penalty was taken in the Hastings 22 and given to Sam " Chip" Holthan who charged through to score.

By now the team was feeling the strain after a long game at full pace in very warm conditions. Will was crawling around with cramp, Tom was putting in Oscar standard performances after being given some very close attention from the Hastings players.
The final whistle blew at 27 points to 5 a fantastic result. The Hastings pack were to say the least big and gave us a few problems but there were strong performances in the pack. Ross Kent was powerful and carried well. Alex Hope a revelation at Blindside, he was everywhere and made many crunching tackles. Rhys, ever the leader on and off the pitch worked tirelessly and often stole the ball. Alex Scott and Dillon never stopped and caused many problems in the lineout as well as carrying well. They look like a good pairing for the future.

This was not a faultless performance and mistakes were made in places with some occasional poor decisions but it was a display of 110% commitment and teamwork, great defence and all the signs that this is going to be a very exciting side with the ball. A group of boys that have not played together until today have built a platform which is going to produce great things this season.

Man of the match, a difficult call but Sean and I both voted Will Chipchase who played the best game I have seen him play, big tackling, good service and bossing the rucks and mauls.

 
Thanks go to Jack Warren for his support and a great performance.

Heathfield Boars 61 Robertsbridge 38

Boars continue their winning ways

The newly promoted Boars opened their campaign in division 2 with a hard fought win over Robertsbridge. The game seemed to seesaw wildly and had Robertsbridge not lost a prop towards the end of the first half the result might have been closer.

Bundett Chips for the corner early on...

Heathfield opened the scoring with converted tries from Jack Bayley, Julian Wates and Rob Woods before Boars lapses allowed Robertsbridge to run in three tries of their own. Heathfield captain Wates dressed his men down and asked for more effort and was rewarded by another three unanswered tries (two from Shallcross and one from Wates himself) each converted by Shallcross. This brought up half time with the score 42-19 and Heathfield having to play uphill against a heavier pack in the second half.

Farrell finishes of a good backs move, untouched under the posts...

An early Robertsbridge score rattled the Boars but tries from Wates and Farrell calmed the nerves before Robertsbridge broke through twice more. A late try from Shallcross rounded off the scoring and a tired but happy bunch of Boars trooped towards the bar to celebrate a maiden win at this level.

Boars competed well in the lineout all day

Man of the Match was Mike Shallcross for his three tries and cultured play.

Boars Team – M. MacLeod, J. Sharp (A. Ryde – 40), P. Watton, P. Hookway, T. Rose, J. Bayley, K. Lewis, J. Parsons, D. Rhodes, B. Burdett, J. Wates, A. Farrell (G. Ellery – 70), M. Shallcross, S. Hollingdale, R. Woods (M. Barber – 30)

Heathfield 27 Beccehamians 3

The first London SE Four League Match of the season brought a comfortable victory for the home team over Beccehamians by five tries to none.  A slightly changed team from the previous week still demonstrated a style and quality of rugby that will make them very competitive in this league.

Playing towards the clubhouse initially the home side was captained by Kobe Tonkin from No 8 and he was especially effective in this role in the first half.  Matt Skinner was fly half for the day: he took a knock to the head early on but stayed on for the whole game and had a generally sound game.

After an early penalty miss, Heathfield were dominating play and Damien Pestell completed some good handling with a nicely taken try.  The referee was having trouble with both teams at the breakdown and there were too many penalties for the game to flow as much as the excellent conditions and pitch suggested was possible.

A penalty near the Beccehamian line allowed Matt Skinner to display quick reactions by grabbing the ball and running through the retreating opposition to claim a try in the clubhouse corner.

The scrummage was unsettled all day with both sides occasionally disrupting the opposition but Rob Lawrence still managed several strikes against the head.  Sean Hammond had another lively day in the loose with frequent appearances in the fly half position.

The visitors continued to attract the referee’s attention at the breakdown and after repeated penalties and warnings he was left with little choice but to sin-bin the visiting no 5 for another offence on the floor.  However Heathfield failed to capitalise on the situation and the half time score of 10-0 barely did justice to the green domination.

Seven minutes into the second half the home team made the game safe with the best move of the match.  Attacking into the right hand corner with an excellent break by Tom Sheffield in his first competitive match for the club, quickly recycled ball was switched back to the left hand corner where Rob Lawrence marshalled affairs and allowed Matt Skinner to dive over for his second try of the game and who then converted his own try.  (17-0)

The visitors now had their best period of the match with a couple of effective pick-and-drives.  However the home defence proved more than adequate and the try line was never seriously threatened.

Following coach Dave Jones’ policy of occasionally mixing experience with the generally youthful team Ian Jenkins now made a welcome reappearance in place of Dan Hunter-Evans and caught the eye with a number of fine tackles and drives.   Matt Skinner then had a rest in the sin bin for ten minutes after being adjudged to have made a dangerous tackle.  The visitors collected their only points of the day from the ensuing penalty.

After twenty minutes of the second half a good break by Damien Pestell created a try for Tom Sheffield. (22-3) The visitors were offering little in attack although still defending stoutly.  Another good passage of play was completed by an outrageous Rob Lawrence break and who then put Sebastian Jones in for the final home score.  There should have been yet another when Heathfield had overwhelming numbers in the left hand corner and George Leney was in the process of touching down when the referee decided that some obstruction had taken place.

Next Saturday Heathfield travel to Charlton Park (3pm kickoff) for what is expected to be a sterner test of this still developing team.

Heathfield Dev XV 48, - Plumpton 24

New Season, new league, new challenges.
This is what faced the Dev XV, as they travelled away to Plumpton.

This very young side, if you take Chris Jones out of the pack, the average age is 19. They have just played three warm up games and once again came up against a much stronger and more experienced set of forwards. However enthusiastic and talented youth eventually overcame the heaver Plumpton forwards.

Heathfield opened the score with some fine handling by the backs which was run in by wing Josh Mullet and converted by Sam Goacher. Plumpton quickly replied with a forwards try.
The Heathfield backs continued to show some flowing rugby with full back Ross Riley and an ever supporting No8 Sam Barrow, both running in tries to round off the first half, Heathfield 19 – 5 Plumpton.

The second half began in fine fashion with captain Levi Willis, playing centre this week, collecting the ball on his own 22, running over and around most of the opposition to score a great individual try. This was a wakeup call for Plumpton, who raised their game and due to Heathfield lowering their intensity, Plumpton scored three tries in quick succession, to draw level 24 all.

Heathfield showed that they are not in this league to make up the numbers and overcame a now buoyant Plumpton, firstly with a penalty kick from Sam Goacher, then a try from scrum half Mike Jaques, followed by a second for Ross Riley and a second for Sam Barrow.
All in all this was a fine performance for such a young side.

Heathfield 32 Gosport & Fareham 10

Heathfield won their first competitive game of the new season with a convincing defeat in the EDF Energy Senior Vase of Gosport and Fareham RFC who play their league rugby at the same level as Heathfield but in the South West region. 

Heathfield started the game with a pace and level of skill that pleased coach Dave Jones and reflected the hard work in pre-season training.  Gosport had only arrived 45 minutes before the match started and it looked as though some of them were mentally still on the coach.  Slick inter passing combined with supporting players arriving at pace had the visitors struggling to defend and it was no surprise when Kobe Tonkin crashed over after a sustained period of play.  Gosport hardly had their hands on the ball and failed to make use of the conditions when they did, only kicking long with the helpful breeze on three occasions in the first half.

After twenty five minutes continued pressure ended in Kobe Tonkin rolling out of a tackle to collect his second try (10-0).  Five minutes later Sean Hammond, making his first competitive appearance for Heathfield, scored his first try for the club, illustrating the impressive mobility that he brings along with highly effective scrummaging at loose head.  Byrn Jones converted on a day when place kicking was very difficult (17-0) The home pack were generally aggressive and mobile, scrapping for the ball and often winning fifty-fifty situations against a Gosport pack that appeared much heavier.

A moment of poor discipline and confusion allowed Gosport to score a try from a quickly taken tap penalty (17-5).  However almost immediately Heathfield responded after another extended sequence of handling with a well-taken try by Damien Pestell (22-5).

Facing the wind in the second half Gosport started in a more combative mode and Heathfield had to defend more than previously.  However once this surge had been contained Bryn Jones started to make many yards with excellent kicking out of hand.  Adam Tennant completed a good handling move to open the scoring in the half (27-5).  Gosport were being more effective around rucks and mauls, pushing the offside line and disrupting otherwise good green possession but by now it was clear that Heathfield were going to win as long as they did not relax.

Simon Wilson had made excellent ground throughout the game and he now completed Heathfield’s scoring with a decent try (32-5).   Kobe Tonkin was then replaced by the new stream-lined Dan Hunter-Evans.  As well as his two tries Kobe had been effective in the loose and made some fine middle lineout catches on a difficult day so it was no surprise when he was picked as man of the match.

Following some more good handling Damien Pestell unselfishly passed with the line at his mercy but Gosport managed to prevent the try.  Indeed the visitors finished the stronger of the two sides and they now counter-attacked well.  Their speedy left wing Pat Mulholland who had looked threatening whenever he had the ball scored a fine try to complete the scoring (32-10).

Next Saturday (13th September 3pm) Heathfield entertain Beccehamians in the first London SE 4 League game of the season.   The standard of play demonstrated by Heathfield, especially in the first half of this match, bodes well for the coming campaign.

Boars start well

The Boars started the new season as they finished the old one. This win knocked the rust off the machine and exposed areas for improvement but was enough to suggest that the Boars can stay in Division 2 for more than a single year.

Brady gets the new season underway

The Boars scrum welcomed back Paul Watton and he repaid this with a big hand in the Boars set piece dominance. This started at the first scrum when Crowborough were driven back 10 metres off their own ball. Shortly after this Sam Barrow went over for his first try converted by Brady Burdett. But slack tackling let Crowborough level the game with a try through their forwards.

Mike Shallcross restored the lead soon after, some good backs pressure ended with Wates splitting the Crowborough defense before passing to Shallcross to score in the corner. A backs move mix up left an alert Crowborough centre holding the ball for a 60 metre dash to the Boars try line for another converted try.

RUNAWAY.. did someone tell Keith about the pre match chat!!

Better forward play saw some stability return and Barrow once again used this platform to break away and score. Last years top try scorer, Rob Woods, then got in on the action with a try just before half time.

Rob "Top Gun" Woods races away to open this years account,  with Mike Shallcroft in support...

Crowborough asked for uncontested scrums shortly after the restart and this led to a more even contest with the only score being a single try from Barrow when he snaffled the ball from a poor defensive lineout at Crowborough’s 5 metre line. This half also saw the welcome return of two ‘old’ Boars when Paul Squires and Guy Ellery pulled on the shirt after long term injuries.

We couldn't work out why Kenny kept takling the same player over and over again, it turns out he works in a local Pie Factory!! Jo Can you please feed him before a game!!

Man of the Match was Sam Barrow for his three tries and all round energy. But also special mentions should go to the wingers on the day, both Sam and Mike work hard in defense and attack and did a great job for the team.

Boars Team – M. MacLeod, C. Jones, P. Watton, P. Hookway, T. Rose, D. Bazen, K. Lewis, S. Barrow, D. Rhodes (G. Ellery – 65), B. Burdett, D. Hesketh (P. Squires – 40), J. Wates, M. Shallcross, A. Sam, R. Woods
