Festival Success for Heath U12s

The Under 12s faced a single pool competition against hosts Pulborough, Horsham and visiting Surrey side Cobham with the first and second in the group going through to the grand final to play off for the trophy. It was clear from the warm up that the boys were up for it and, despite the intense overnight rain, the games were played in glorious sunshine. Heath dominated the Group winning all of their games and running in some great tries in the process. The team managed to mix a real physicality and desire at the breakdown with an ability to play as a team and move the ball wide - a combination which their opponents were unable to deal with. So after topping their group Heath made the final in which they were to play Cobham who they had previously beaten 4-0 . Unsurprisingly the final was a far tighter affair and whilst the Heath 12s always looked to have a grip on the game, they came away with a nail biting 1-0 victory to win the tournament. A great day for the Under 12s who visibly grew in confidence as the day progressed and under the direction of their coaches were working hard for each other moving the ball around the pitch with confidence – the squad really stepped up to the plate and made their coaching team very proud.
