On this mild November evening, the Roehampton side ran in nine tries, five before the interval, demonstrating throughout an ability to strike from anywhere, roaring through the slightest defensive chink with skill and …

Not that the omens looked favourable early on. Two scrum penalties, and missed tackles, enabled Titans’ left-wing Shai Bonnick …
Yet another tight climax, and yet again Blackheath finding themselves on the wrong end of the final scoreline. In the 76th minute, Steve Leonard had peeled off the side of a maul to crash over the goal-line, giving the Club the lead for the first time in the contest, Sam Evans striking a decent conversion to extend the advantage to …

A strong second-half comeback saw Blackheath overturn a 12-point half-time deficit, and record only their second victory of the current season.

Nevertheless, it also shouldn’t disguise the fact that for the opening hour of this contest, the Club were firmly under the cosh from a Chinnor side …
The Bandits opened their 2021-22 league campaign with what can simply be described as a tough day at the office. Early optimism at a sound, if unrewarded, first half performance gave way to an unpleasant lesson, as injuries depleted the Club team in the second half and the home side pulled away to a 52-0 result. The Bandits had a …
A try in the 78th minute from second-row Martin Gerrard secured a first win of the season for Caldy, and left Blackheath frustrated with a third losing bonus point for their campaign to date.
