At last – back to League Rugby and it’s our first ever game in National 2. It's also our first ever game v Preston Grasshoppers. So, it should be a great afternoon and Heath History in the making.
If you’re interested in learning a bit more about our hosts. then here’s a link to their website: here.
Like us, they’ve had warm-up games and they beat Rossendale 45 – 12 on the 28th August and Blackburn 23 - 12 the previous Saturday. But they lost to Sedgeley Park 19 – 26 on the 15th. Last year’s League standing saw them finish 9th. League listings, here
More information etc, below and we've been asked to point out to our 'Loyal Band of Travelling Supporters' that if anybody would like to join Preston for lunch, they should ring the Club office on 01772 863546 to see if there is any availability. Cost £37.50. Menu details (2 x Course), here.
