As one-sided a contest as you’ll get. Blackheath scored ten tries, five in each half, in this demolition of struggling Ionians who are now mathematically relegated. Dan Hiscocks crossed first, after the Club had won a penalty from their first put-in and kicked to touch, and when Harry Fry had once again hit Freddie Owen […]
Photos courtesy of Tony Fielding A penalty try in the final minute of this tightly-fought contest secured victory for Cinderford and a season-double for the Gloucestershire side over the Club. Leading by two points, courtesy of Mark Cooke’s conversion of Jake Lloyd’s 68th minute try, Blackheath, not for the first time, poured pressure on themselves […]
By Graham Cox Tomorrow Blackheath head west to the Forest of Dean to take on Cinderford. Kick off at Dockham Road is at 3 pm. Cinderford have been on the rough end of the recent heavy rainfall with their last three matches being postponed, two at home, and then last week at Bishop’s Stortford. This […]
We are very sad to report the death of an ex-Blackheath player, Colonel Bill Stevens OBE. Bill (known to his team-mates as Willie) Stevens was a Blackheath player in the 1960s and early 1970s, playing regularly in the 1st team and in the Blackheathens. He was a very talented full-back and prolific goal-kicker. He was […]
The conditions ranged from difficult to almost impossible in this contest. At least that’s a sentiment Joe Tarrant might agree with. Early in the second period, and with a ferocious hail storm in his face, the unfortunate Cambridge, and former Blackheath, full-back lost his footing coming to meet Leo Fielding’s punt forward, and as the […]
Photos courtesy of Tony Fielding It rained and the wind blew. You may have noticed. If you made the journey to Hertfordshire and braved the elements, you were rewarded with a game that proved a huge slog, and one where both sides will feel unsatisfied with the end result. Bishop’s Stortford’s overall game management probably […]
Tomorrow Blackheath make the relatively short journey to Hertfordshire to take on Bishop’s Stortford. Kick off at Silver Leys in Hadham Road is at 3 pm. Stortford have had a solid, if unspectacular, season to date. They currently sit in twelfth position in National League One with eight wins and a draw from their twenty-two […]
Photos courtesy of Felix Ursell An enthralling game from start to finish, with both sides playing their part, using the fine conditions to good effect. Indeed, Albion outscored their hosts three tries to two, but for the second week running Mark Cooke produced a perfect kicking performance, the Club fly-half striking two conversions and five […]
Tomorrow Blackheath welcome Plymouth Albion to Well Hall. Kick off is at 3 pm. Albion had an indifferent first half of the season, winning six and drawing two of their 16 matches prior to the Christmas break, although one of their wins was a notable 31-30 victory against Richmond at The Athletic Ground in November. […]
Photos: Tony Fielding A result which may have a significant impact on who gets promoted to the Championship, but perhaps more importantly for Blackheath, a league-double over a side who have impressed everyone, including apparently themselves, in their first-ever season in rugby’s third tier. Rams were on a roll going in to this match, with […]
