Welcome to the fantastic brand-new Blackheath Rugby website! We have had a very strange year with the Covid-19 pandemic. We have had no competitive matches since March 16th 2020, and we have lost almost a whole season of rugby. We are looking forward to a much better season in 2021-2022. As the oldest open rugby club in the world, Blackheath’s …
Thank you to everyone who came and supported Club last Saturday for the re opening of the bar. It was just brilliant to see so many of you back at your club where you belong! From this Wednesday (21st) we are going to open up the bar at Well Hall more often pending any changes to the Road Map. Strict …

Rugby: it’s my life, my love, my passion. It’s given me my best friends, my wife, my children, my favourite moments in my life. It’s given me my highs and my lows, but the highs have always outweighed the lows. I can close my eyes and remember the first time I picked up a rugby ball, and why I continue …
A match, the pattern of which, very much dictated by the filthy conditions that swept across south-east England on this miserable afternoon. For much of the contest Bishop’s Stortford held sway, while Blackheath’s discipline crumbled and, easing their way back from an early deficit, looked like they might make it a hat-trick of victories in only their third visit to …
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 with lineout ball, and the …
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 with indiscipline and poor decision-making. As Cinderford spread play across …
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 ball bounced kindly for the …
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 had the edge, and when their chances came, they executed …
