Although waterlogged pitches continue to curtail the rugby played on the grass at Whitemans Green, five Heath Hawks U17s represented Sussex against Hampshire U17s on Sunday - Christian Streater, Adam Southern, Bobby Collins, Tom Wharton and Will Goodwin all gained county colours in a tough match against Hampshire played on the artificial pitch at Horsham.

Although Sussex came out second best losing 36-17 to a well drilled Hampshire side, the Heath representatives all performed really well - with Tom Wharton scoring one of the Sussex tries.
