It’s the first of Blackheath’s Kent derby matches tomorrow, as the Club travel down the A2 to Canterbury for their first ever league meeting with the City side.
Newly-promoted Canterbury lost at home 37-14 to their other Kent rivals, Old Elthamian, in their opening match, but they had a superb season last time out on their way to the play-off match, their only defeat at Merton Lane coming against champions Redingensian Rams.
Blackheath will also be looking for a first win after the disappointing showing against Chinnor in which they were probably a little fortunate to only lose by two-points, 17-15, and claim a losing bonus point.
James Shanahan makes two changes to starting front-row, with Harry Fry at hooker and Harry Seward at tight-head, while Andrew Daish is brought in to the second-row.
Kick-off at the Marine Travel Ground is 3.00 pm
