HENRY Goodburn is left on the bench as Haywards Heath resume the chase for runners-up spot today.

The Sussex winger has been struggling with a back injury of late and has been left out at home to Old Wimbledonians in London Two South.

He is confident he will be fully fit for a highly-charged month which includes the derby with Lewes, a fifth successive Sussex Trophy final and the County Championships.

Skipper Goodburn's wing berth is taken by Owen Ashton.

Heath, who are virtually assured of their place in what should be a challenging division two next term, also name county prop Russ Sheppard among the replacements. Ben Turney takes his place.

With Brighton confirmed as champions, most interest in Three South East centres around the race to make the cut for next season.

Worthing, who should make the cut, rest midfield trio Andy Ashwin, Terry Butler and Steve Imrie at home to Horsham.

East Grinstead's future could come down to points difference so they will be out to pile up the tries against Park House.
