Haywards Heath RFC's promotion confirmed but celebrations on hold
and live on Freeview channel 276
Unable to get together to celebrate, Heath 1st XV Lead Coach Ross Chisholm called the squad to a Zoom meeting online and announced the news to a stay safe, stay at home squad.
For sure these muted celebrations will be replaced with something more appropriate and probably more raucous when the situation allows.

Undoubtedly, they have a critical role."
But being your eyes and ears comes at a price. So we need your support more than ever to buy our newspapers during this crisis. In return we will continue to forensically cover the local news - not only the impact of the virus but all the positive and uplifting news happening in these dark days.
We thank all our readers and advertisers for their understanding and support - and we wish YOU all the best in the coming weeks. Keep safe, and follow the Government advice. Thank you.
