Bishop’s Stortford 14 Blackheath 18

Not pretty, but the win Blackheath desperately wanted to halt their decline down the National League One table. However, they had to work mighty hard for it. Having put daylight between the sides with an eleven-point advantage soon after the re-start following the break, the Club had to withstand a number of Stortford assaults, the concession of nine second half …

Blackheath 0 Rosslyn Park 15

The last time Rosslyn Park came calling at The Utilita, Blackheath produced their best performance of the 2021/22 season to win 31-24, all but extinguishing the Roehampton side’s hopes of promotion to The Championship from that campaign. On this occasion there would be no upset of the form book, as Park eased to a comfortable and controlled win with three …

Blackheath 22 Rams 42

A dominant final half-hour saw Blackheath eventually succumb, as Rams powered to a six-try victory, keeping the Berkshire club in pole position in National League One. For 70 minutes, the hosts kept the visitors within range, but the size and weight of the opposition eventually proved too much, and the Club finished a contest empty handed on home soil for …

Moseley 19 Blackheath 17

A try at the very death for number-eight Tom Baldwin salvaged a losing bonus point for Blackheath, but the Club will look back at their trip to the West Midlands in the tenth round of fixtures in National League One, and sense it might have been more. After heavy rain, and with a stiff breeze developing, the conditions would inevitably …

Blackheath Club XV 26-10 Richmond Saxons

Match report by Craig Molloy Having just come up short in an excellent game against Ampthill last Saturday, the Club XV were determined to get back to winning ways. Following a respectful two minute silence in remembrance of those who paid the ultimate sacrifice in two World Wars and other conflicts, Blackheath started as they had last week with a …

Blackheath 21 Richmond 17

The two clubs who played out a nil-nil draw in the first-ever game of rugby union back in 1864, and who went into this National League One match evenly placed, produced another tight contest, Blackheath hanging on for victory after Richmond scored a 75th minute try to bring them within range. ‘It was a strange game,’ said Blackheath boss James …

Landmark day for Markus!

Blackheath against Richmond is always a special game, it being the oldest continually played fixture in world rugby (the clubs first locked horns on Richmond Green in 1864). There’s a particular significance to tomorrow’s meeting also, as it falls on Remembrance Day, both clubs having lost numerous players during the two World Wars. For Blackheath though, the match will also …

Plymouth Albion 28 Blackheath 15

A disappointing return to National League One action for Blackheath, as they succumbed to the might of the Plymouth Albion pack on this squally afternoon at Brickfields. The conditions were made for forwards, with the frequent showers adding to a ground made soft by recent heavy rain, and with Albion holding the advantage in size and weight in just about …

Tony Jorden 1947-2023

It is with great sadness that the Club has learned of the recent passing of former Blackheath full-back and England international, Anthony ‘Tony’ Mervyn Jorden, at the age of 76. Tony was born in Radlett, Hertfordshire on 28th January 1947 and educated at Monmouth School, before going on to Fitzwilliam College, Cambridge University. He was a Cambridge blue in both …

Chinnor 53 Blackheath 8

Both sides entered this contest with four wins from six matches, and with just one point and one place separating them in the National League One table. However, there was nothing even about this contest, a match that saw Blackheath plunge from the high of putting 52 points on Cinderford, to the depths of conceding a half century a week …
