Club sail on while Hull hit the bottom The disappointment of Blackheath’s first defeat a week ago at Coventry was quickly dispelled with this eight tries to two victory, lifting the Club to fourth, whilst at the same time consigning Hull Ionians to the foot of the table, the only National League One side […]
Club Look to Give Hull the Hump by Nick Sullivan The good people of Eltham will be on their guard this weekend lest any stray camels do something unforgiveable on the front lawn. Surely you can picture the scene…the sirocco scours its way across the plains of Humberside, whipping up the Hull sand as it […]
It is with great disappointment that we have to announce the disbanding of the Club Rugby Academy after five great years. This year, as we moved to partner with SELC, we were looking forward to receiving over 20 new learners. Sadly this did not happen and the eventual numbers were far lower than initial recruitment […]

The ancient rivalry between Blackheath and Richmond in renown throughout world rugby, but on this day 72 years ago the two clubs came together. Read the full story here:
Club rise above Amps power surge The second time in two home matches that Blackheath have won by a single point, and the second time it was left to the boot of Joe Tarrant to determine the outcome in the dying moments. Unlike the kick that had sunk Plymouth Albion a fortnight ago, […]
