Gillanders seizes gap to sink Hull A stop-start game played in raw conditions. The bitter wind, coming straight off the Humber, was joined by steady rain from the interval onwards, and by the final whistle the gloom that increasingly shrouded Brantingham Park during the second period made visibility difficult for players and spectators alike, although […]
Unfortunately the Heathens match against OEs at Rectory Field this Saturday has been called off. A re arranged fixture will be sought and updates done via the website.
Blackheath Face Trip To Hull and Back by Nick Sullivan An early start at Kings Cross tomorrow as Blackheath travel north across the Humber to Brough in the East Riding and the home of Hull Ionians RFC. Ionians have had a rollercoaster few seasons. Almost, but not quite, all-conquering champions National Two North in […]
In case anyone has forgotten, Christmas is just around the corner, as is the Club Christmas lunch, which will be on the 19th December when the Club play Esher. Held at Well Hall, and supported by Greene King, who will be providing each table with some complimentary beers to accompany the delicious food, this is […]
By Matt Irvine On a very cold and windy day the Heathens travelled to Worthing with a point to prove after last week’s narrow defeat to Richmond.

The winger was already a fans’ favourite in his two-season stint at the […]
Evening All, CANCELLED | Beccahamian 2’s | 14th Nov Unfortunately for the 1st time this season we couldn’t get numbers in time, thank you to all those that made themselves available, especially those who tried to re-arrange stuff to make the cut, but unfortunately by today at 11:00, we still didn’t have a team, so as […]
Written by Mark Briant In a wet and windy day at Rectory Field on Saturday 14th November, the Heathens were narrowly denied by a stubborn Richmond side, going down 13-7 in the end.
