Ian Milcham scored immediately after the half-time break with H&B charging down the kick-off to great effect.

Blackheath pulled one back and a nervous finish saw H&B fiercely defending their line as the final whistle blew.

Manager Ian Davies was delighted with the youngsters performances.

"We had to play very well defensively as they are a very well organised team. Every time they hammered at us we held them and wore them down," he said.

"I couldn t be prouder than any of them, they re all gods to me."

The talented team are now waiting to hear who they ll play next and are hoping it will be a famous club like Harlequins or Wasps.
