Heath RFC trio run out for Sussex U20s

McLoughlin, Warwick and Best represented Sussex U20s against Horsham

Owain McLoughlin, Henry Warwick and Charlie Best - three young backs from Heath RFC - took to the pitch for Sussex Under 20s shortly before Christmas against a young Horsham side under the lights.

It was a competitive encounter with the Sussex squad scoring three tries, one conversion and one penalty to win by 20-14.

Jim Taylor, Assistant Coach of both Heath RFC and Sussex U20s was encouraged by what he described as a great defensive effort by the group in one of their first matches together on the pitch this season.
