with young players from Hove, Horsham, Crawley, Shoreham and Guernsey joining the home Heath teams at under 7s right through to Under 12s in this important annual event.

All matches start at 10.30 and there will be refreshments available all day in the Clubhouse and on the BBQ. Hundreds of young players are expected to take to the pitches showing off their developing rugby skills and Ross Chisholm from Quins, a former Heath mini & junior, will be meeting the next generation of rugby talent and presenting some of the winners’ medals to help celebrate the achievement of all taking part.

Newly appointed Director of Rugby at Heath, Glen Jones says “We are looking forward to hosting this year’s West Sussex Festival - it is always so fantastic to see so many young players developing their skills as they work their way through the mini age groups. All support welcome, especially if you have a youngster who may want to try the game next season - come and see for yourself how much fun rugby is for so many every weekend.”
