Hove have opened up a one-point gap at the top of Sussex One.

They won 34-10 at Burgess Hill and now face an intriguing tussle with Heathfield next Saturday.

Heathfield and Horsham shared a 10-10 draw in a very physical encounter at Waldron.

The game was marred by a broken ankle for long-serving Heathfield player Rob Streeter.

Sam Bayley's try was converted by Will Drinkwater to put Heath seven points up but Horsham replied when Dan Lethbridge followed up a kick and sent Tom Wright over for James Ashford to convert.

Ashford kicked a penalty but Drinkwater replied in kind.

Hastings and Bexhill are making great progress. They beat spirited Norfolk Arms 53-7, led by two tries apiece from Ben Campbell and Kit Claughton.

Danny Relph, Paul Northen, Tom Brampton and Roger Roberts all got over with Paul Sandeman kicking five conversions and a penalty.

Crowborough came from 10-5 down at the break for a 19-10 home win over Seaford.

The visitors' try was a good one, Lee Pryer producing a magnificent solo break from halfway before selling a dummy to score under the posts.

Simon Baker converted and later kicked a penalty.

Old Brightonians rattled up a 74-7 verdict over Sussex Police in a re-arranged Sussex Two tussle.

Acting captain Matt Wilson scored three tries, as did Ben Bidwell.

Further tries came from Paul Atkins (2), Lloyd Libin, Robert Heal, Jamie Allen and Nigel Fozzella. Kit Barkon converted seven.

Damon Funnell replied for the Police with Maurice Dando adding the conversion.
