Blackheath 39 Bishop’s Stortford 32

A fine second half performance from Blackheath giving them to back-to-back home wins to maintain fifth place in National League One prior to the Christmas break, but kept honest by a Stortford side who never gave up and pushed hard to the end. On a damp, blustery December afternoon, Tom Ffitch gave Blackheath a three-point start for not rolling, but …

Blackheath 22 Leicester Lions 19

Noah Sloot’s try, with just two minutes remaining on the clock, rescued Blackheath from a calamitous spell post-interval, and in so doing maintained their fifth position in National League One at the halfway stage of the campaign.

Rotherham Titans 15 Blackheath 12

A drop-goal from Corben Ollivent, as the clock ticked past the 80-minute mark, denied Blackheath what would have been a hard-fought draw, and kept Rotherham pressing in third position in National League One. With Storm Darragh producing a swirling wind, a greasy ball, and an increasingly cut-up playing surface, the Yorkshiremen worked a position in front of the uprights for …

Blackheath 16 Dings Crusaders 7

A hard-fought, ground-out win for Blackheath in awful conditions, but pushed all the way by a Dings side that dominated much of the game and who were unfortunate to leave the Utilita empty-handed. For the last 25 minutes, the Bristol club, new to National League One this term, pounded the Club defence but, one breach apart, the red and black …
