Heathfield and Chichester are on course for a title showdown in Sussex One.

Heath brushed aside St Francis 108-0 while Chi were defeating rivals Horsham 32-8 at Oaklands Park. The two sides meet on February 2 but Chi skipper Ben Polhill warned: "It's not just about that game. We have still got Hastings away, which will be tough, and I know Sussex Police and UC Chichester want to beat us."

Three second-half tries gave Chi control on Saturday. Polhill, Frank Corby and Stuart Brandon crossed the line with Nick Stanton kicking five penalties and a conversion.

Heathfield tries came from Julian Wates (3), Damien Pestall (2), Dave Lawrence (2), Mikey Hole (2), Ian Jenkins (2), Richard Cooley, Will Drinkwater, Simon Wilson, Lewis Marshall and Tom Gribble. Lewis Beale converted nine.

Hastings and Bexhill eventually ground down Sussex Police for a 64-3 win. Twenty-year-old prop Jim Nicholls scored his first senior try and there were also scores for Neil Redman, Warwick Benson, Steve Kimber, Andy Hitch, Dave Milham, Nick Edmonds, Ben Campbell and Paul Sandeman.

Crowborough enjoyed a 48-12 win at UC Chichester. Bruce Brooker and Matt Usher scored fine first-half tries. Usher and Ian Gilbert went on to complete hat-tricks with Keith Brooker also going over.

Hellingly lost 21-17 at home to Rye. Malcolm Fitzpatrick and Richard Collyer scored tries for the hosts with Ronnie Francis adding two conversions and a penalty.

Sussex Two East leaders Seaford were given a fright before winning 11-5 at home to Old Brightonians. Jon Maple starred for Burgess Hill, scoring all his side's points in an 18-0 home win over Newick.

Robertsbridge beat Plumpton 37-9.
