Given the awful weather for much of the week leading up to this match you might have wondered what kind of fare the good crowd at The Utilita might have expected. That the weather was warm, dry and sunny with little breeze helped both sides to serve up a bit of a treat. A 12 try match with both sides …
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 …

On 4 December 1870, Edwin Ash of Richmond and Benjamin Burns of Blackheath published a letter in The Times suggesting that “those who play the rugby-type game should …
Another hotly contested match took place last Sunday away at Barnes RFC. Unfortunately, it was not meant to be for our team, with the final whistle blowing at 27-25. We kicked off to Barnes on a sunny autumnal afternoon. The quick Barnes team was first to score in the corner but didn’t convert. A Blackheath jackal, quick free-flow play and …
Bexley vs Blackheath Bandits Saturday 14 October 2023 The Bandits resumed their league campaign on Saturday against a numerically understrength Bexley, which under the Game On protocols meant a 10-a-side game.
