U14 Heathfield recover mojo after Lewes first half lesson in this squad friendly

After being by the sea last week the squad took to the beach of Cypress on a glorious lunchtime. Lewes were quickly into their stride scoring a try from an exceptional pairing at 10 and 12. The coaching team maintained its policy rotating all available players for as equal as time as possible. This challenged second rows to player centres and front row and full backs at 10! With Lewes dominating the first half the dynamic duo joined our team with Toby and Freddie pulling on the blue and white. This transformed the team and the confidence grew. Our forwards who competed well at the ruck all day dominated this quarter and allowed our re-invigorated backs to flourish. Scoring tries from all parts of the pitch. This brought the score to 1-2 in quarters as for the final quarter we reverted to our own squads. The team built of our performance and were extremely competitive just losing out to a couple of excellent worked tries by Lewes. With an excellent performance from Angus at 10 and the effervescent Finn on the wing the team ended the game defeated but proud of how they had responded. Losing score in quarters was 1-3. Expect our next training session to focus on the tackle and defensive line speed.
