Heath started the stronger of the two teams opening the scoring with an unconverted try. They were soon to extend their lead to 8-0 scoring a penalty.
Beverley battled back when their man of the match Luke Hazzle evaded five tackles and ran 60 yards to score. Heath, however, extended their lead ahead of the break with a pushover try to make it 13-5.
While Beverley was still in the game they were up against the monster men of the Heath Pack. Despite standing up against Heath’s giants, Beverley were soon further behind after Heath was awarded a penalty try.
