On Saturday there was a round robin tournament against the eight other clubs taking part, and the under-eights and under-tens managed to go unbeaten all weekend.
Heath’s under-13s had an incredible touring experience displaying some of the best rugby they’ve played all season.
Both mixed teams came top of their respective groups and supported each other really well to close out both finals with victories.

In fact the under-13s, under-14s (whose tour was featured in last week’s paper) and under-15s all reached the finals of their age group cups, playing five games in the process.
And the under-sevens to under-11s were applauded for their rugby skills and their tour kit.
Meanwhile the under-12s sampled the sights and sounds of the Isle of Wight, playing great rugby and consolidating their excellent season.
