H&B awarded points from cancellation

HASTINGS & Bexhill remain second in Division One of the Sussex Rugby League after they were given a walkover when last weekend's opponents Chichester Institute failed to raise a team.

Not for the first time this season, the students cancelled because they were unable to field a front row. H&B were awarded the points.

The club faces two friendlies on Saturday December 21 with the u23s travelling to Heathfield and the rest of the first team squad facing the seniors of the same club at William Parker, kick off 2.15pm.
