Blackheath 31 Barnes 12

A definite improvement on the somewhat uninspiring, stop-start, performance at Bury St Edmunds a week previously, Blackheath running in five tries against two from the visitors from Surrey, to complete a comfortable win. Amongst the scores, a hat-trick for Shae Tucker, the New Zealander and former Cornish Pirate producing an excellent display at outside-centre, and complementing some neat passages of …

Bury St Edmunds 36 Blackheath 33

Pre-season friendlies will inevitably be of more use to coaches, players and officials than the casual observer, and that will apply more than ever in advance of a campaign dominated by discussion of the controversial new tackle law affecting domestic rugby at Level Three and below. Sure enough, this match was punctuated by numerous high tackle calls, as well as …

We’ve got three great games lined up – after our first game, which is away at Bury St Edmunds on 12 August, we will be at home for the following two and are hoping to see a good crowd for both of them: Saturday 19 August – KO 15:00 v Barnes Friday 25 …

Blackheath 19 Bishop’s Stortford 14

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 …

Esher 7 Blackheath 36

Opening day bonus for Blackheath Not the most well-oiled performance but Blackheath will, nevertheless, be pleased with an opening day bonus point win from a venue where they’ve frequently come unstuck.   Indeed, prior to this game, Molesey Road had seen just two Blackheath wins in ten visits, and was the setting where the Club’s promising start to their 2017/18 …

Blackheath 13 Esher 6

Off the mark! A hard-fought victory for Blackheath to wipe away the memory of their dismal performance at Hartpury College a week ago, but perhaps more significantly in the long-run, to mark a new era for the Club in the surrounds of their Well Hall home. Starting with far greater purpose and intensity than they’d shown at any stage in …
