Report:
Heath travelled with fifteen fit players and came up against a very solid, well drilled home team. After an even start and good drives by Emlyn James, Oli Burbidge, George Heron and Adam Milner, Heath couldn’t open the scoring.
Driffield scored five tries without reply.
Just before half time Heath had their best spell, from a scrum ten metres out, Jack Bruce ran a great line off Max Rowntree to crash over near the posts. Young flyhalf Ben Gianotti added the conversion and nearly put captain and man of the match Tobias Hinchliffe away before the halftime whistle. 33-7 HT.
Driffield dominated the second half with injuries taking their toll on the visitors. Chris Metcalf on debut left the field with damaged ribs, James Whitworth (head), Oliver Burbidge (shoulder), & Owain Griffiths (head) all left the field and Driffield added five more tries. 68-7 FT.
