Haywards Heath have given their starters a chance to put things right as they bid to make up for cup despair.

Heath entertain Thanet Wanderers in London One keen to maintain their title chase and wipe out memories of defeat at St Mary's OB last week.

Skipper Alex Meredith has admitted that Intermediate Cup defeat in Bristol reached "embarrassing" proportions when his side trailed 32-3, although they did pull back 17 unanswered points to set-up a tight finish.

Meredith added: "Thanet is going to be a similar sort of test because Kent sides tend to be big up front. If we play to our ability we have got nothing to worry about."

The skipper felt the four replacements used last week were Heath's best players but only one, prop Darren Shadbolt, has done enough to earn a start tomorrow.

Owen Ashton has been ruled out for three weeks after suffering concussion so Andy Cook will return at full back providing he gets over injury.
