A fitting farewell A momentous day, with not only Blackheath’s last league game to be played at Rectory Field, but also a 278th and final appearance for Dave Allen in a match that stuck to the script, with seven tries for the hosts, and their talismanic open-side living up to his star billing by collecting […]
Tomorrow, when Blackheath take to the field for their final National League One match of the 2015-16 season it will do more than mark the end of the Club’s most successful campaign in the twelve years since their promotion back to domestic rugby’s third tier. For one, it will be the final league game, at […]
by Nick Sullivan The Curtain Drops Blimey. Where to start? Possibly the last league game at Rectory Field and the last time out for the Blackheath Legend that is Dave Allen. As a passer-by of Well Hall on occasion, from a distance the pitch looks in decent nick, some proper tall floppy posts are up, […]

Hoping for better things time around, Blackheath hop on the bus to Hersham this weekend as they travel around London and […]

Match Report by Josh Hawkins The game starting twenty minutes later than scheduled due to Cinderford’s long trip down to Well Hall. Once the game was underway, early pressure from the straight, hard running Cinderford side lead to them scoring the first try.

Pailor paves the way for Cov comeback In the reverse fixture at the Butts Park Arena back in December, Blackheath needed to overturn an 11-point deficit to emerge eventual 24-16 winners. This time it was Coventry who had to come from behind, the West Midlanders clawing back at a 17-point advantage, right-wing Dom Lespierre crossing […]
