Hove III were quickly out of the blocks and scored the first points against a young Heath back line.

That early set back motivated the team and inspired Wilf Bridges to score and Henry Warwick to convert.

This positive response gave the team the confidence to work hard as a team and led to additional first half tries from Ant Rawbin, Tim Salisbury and Chris Neil - all of which were converted by Warwick who put in an amazing kicking performance - one soaring through the posts from wide on the touch line.

The half time score stood at 12-28 and Heath ran in two further tries as the squad showed its strength during the second half – one each from Harry Sandercock and Henry Warwick.

Six different scorers on the day shows the potential of this developing RAMS side that combines youth with experience as shown when veterans Kevin McDonald and David Funnell both came on as replacements to join the forwards as number 8 and prop respectively.

The final score was 12-40 and an exciting semi-final to look forward to for the Club.
