Haywards Heath have left no doubts as to where their priorities lie as they tackle a league and cup double-header this weekend.

Heath go to Winchester in London One tomorrow keen to repeat last week's 26-0 home win over the Hampshire side.

They then send a team to Eastbourne on Sunday in the quarter-finals of the Sussex Trophy.

Heath would love to regain the county silverware they lost to Worthing last season but top spot in the league and promotion to National Three remain the main aim.

They send a virtually full strength side across the border tomorrow and effectively a second team to Eastbourne.

The one notable exception to that is top try scorer Henry Goodburn, who is unavailable tomorrow so plays in the Trophy instead.

Flanker Dave Wattam and wing and goalkicker Owen Ashton are due to play both games.

Second team captain Dan Vander leads the team at Eastbourne from No. 8.

First team skipper Alex Meredith admitted: "The league is obviously our priority and we didn't see any need to make many changes from last week's team.

"With the intensity of London One rugby there is no way we could send out the same side a day later but our team for the Eastbourne game is not weak by any means."

Heath will look for an improvement in the ball handling and retention they produced against Winchester last week.

Eastbourne have named an 18-man squad though the battle against relegation from London Three South East remains their priority.

Spokesman Graham Shiret said: "I'm beginning to understand why you get these football teams who go down, then win their next three games when the pressure is off.

"We are playing under immense pressure in our league games and we will look forward to a good cup tie."
