A dominant display from the forwards provided the platform for H&B to remain hot on the heels of Division One leaders Uckfield.

Assistant coach Rob Hamilton said: "It was a very encouraging performance, I think it was our best performance of the season - 21-3 doesn't reflect our dominance."

Seaford opened the scoring with a penalty but inspirational captain Neil Redman equalised as H&B claimed a penalty of their own.

From then on there was really only one team in it and tries from Andy Hitch, Steve McManus and Ben Campbell, and another Redman penalty completed victory.

H&B visit Pulborough in the league on Saturday December 7.
