Heath take the spoils in local derby

Heath u13s made the short trip to Old Brods which included an unplanned but welcomed three way with Cleckheaton too.

It was Brods first up in a 30 min fixture with Heath playing up the slope.  Heath were slow out of the blocks allowing Brods to collect their own kick-off.  However, the lads got into their game plan and within 7 mins the ball went down the right for Logan Hall to score. 0-5.

Heath’s forwards were securing possession to allow the backs to go open down the right.  Great support work by Humphrey Hall led to Heaths second try. 0-10.

Brods responded well and before half-time scored two well earned tries to bring it level 10-10.  Heath now had the advantage of the slope for the second half.

Immediately Heath were putting pressure on Brods.  Captain Logan Helliwell-MacDonald led the way by barging over.  10-15.  The handling by Heath was impressive and their game plan coming together.  Big hits from Jasper Haigh kept Brods from breaking the Heath line.

Heath went right from a scrum and found space for Logan Hall to score his second try.  10-20.  Brods we’re struggling to contain Heath and the lads took it up a level. A final well taken try by Alfie Cartwright - full time 10-25.
