A fine match and a fine victory for Blackheath who found easily their best performance of the season so far to defeat their old rivals who were hitherto unbeaten and had started the day as league leaders. True, in the end this win may have owed something to Park second half errors, but those mistakes […]
Tomorrow Blackheath make the short journey along the South Circular (or probably better by train!) to meet their old rivals Rosslyn Park in their third successive derby match of the season. Park have had a great start to their campaign, winning all three matches to date, and currently sit proudly at the head of an, […]

Richmond have enjoyed three years in […]
A stop-start, untidy, scrappy game. But when it comes to scrapping, Canterbury do it well, and although Blackheath held sway on the scoreboard, the home side’s tenacity right to the finish earned them a reward of two bonus points. However, it was Blackheath who claimed all five, largely down to a first half display that […]
