Wimbledon completed their best ever season in London Division One South with a comfortable 29-12 win over Haywards Heath.

The Beverley Meads side had long cemented their final resting place of fourth, but Saturday's win confirmed their superiority over fifth-placed Dover opening up a 19-point gap.

Wimbledon started the match at a rush with two tries in the first eight minutes. 

The first came after three minutes with a line-out drive and hooker Tiernan Dixon was bustled over the line, outside half Neil Hallett made no mistake with his conversion.

Four minutes later, a break by right winger Tommy Moore cutting inside lead to a try for flanker Craig Bond - this time Hallett was unsuccessful with his kick but Wimbledon were thinking of making a large score.  

The match went strangely quiet as Haywards Heath started to warm up and some attritional forward play from them caused a heavy afternoon for the Wimbledon side. 

There were also some curious interpretations from the referee, particularly concerning entering from the side at rucks and mauls. 

He was also happy to use a yellow card to both sides. 

Some of Wimbledon’s attacking flair was also lost when skipper Chris Lewis went off with a muscle injury after a heavy covering tackle on Heath’s winger near the try line. 

Heath also scored a try when the referee instructed the two captains to speak to their players.

A Heath player ignored this, took the penalty and created a score while Wimbledon were getting their advice. 

After 18 minutes of the second half, Heath had closed the gap to 15–12 with a second try but on 25 minutes, replacement prop Joey Nanau decided went through from a maul to score with a conversion from Hallett opening a 10-point lead. 

Pessure near the Heath line and some dogged defence led to number eight Danny Craven making the ball available for Kua Palakua to cut through and score unopposed near the posts. 

Palakua, in possibly his last game for Wimbledon, was given the conversion and duly obliged to end the match at 29-12.

Wimbledon scored an average of 27 points a match in their first season since promotion last year - all credit to the coaching team of Nathan Kemp, James Ogilvie-Bull and Stuart Power and the players over the 26 matches.
