H&B Colts tackle Blackheath

THE young guns of Hastings & Bexhill play the biggest game of their fledgling careers when mighty Blackheath visit in the second round of the English Clubs Colts Rugby Knockout Cup on Sunday November 25.

H&B defied the odds to beat Portsmouth in the previous round but this really will be a huge test for Ian Davis talented squad.

Club vice-president Ken Nichols said: "It s the biggest game the Colts have played for ten years, and then another ten years."

The under-19s go into the match as the standard-bearers for Sussex rugby as all their county rivals have fallen by the wayside in a national competition dominated by powerhouses such as Harlequins, Bristol, Bath and Leicester.

"It was an incredible achievement to get past the first round and basically this match is like Hastings Town playing Tottenham," said Nichols.

The match at H&B s William Parker ground kicks-off at 2pm.
