A Big Lake Early in the morning on Saturday 4 February, in a land far, far away, a Club Life Member donned his trunks and went for a little swim. The member was Mark Sheridan, and the swim was across New Zealand’s biggest lake: 14 hours and 46 minutes later, Mark became the first British person to cross Lake Taupo, …
A sometimes devastating first period, followed by a largely forgettable second, but another bonus point win for Blackheath, the Club’s fifth of 2023, to extend their lead at the head of National League Two East. In the opening 40 minutes, Blackheath’s intensity was all too much for a Sevenoaks side lurking close to the other end of the table. The …

Photos courtesy of Deborah Lloyd For a second week in a row, Blackheath gained a hard-fought, ground-out, victory against one of their main challengers in National League Two East, and in so doing, made a further stride towards promotion and regaining the place in domestic rugby’s third tier they vacated a year ago.

Five tries to two, and a third bonus point win on the spin following good wins against Esher and Chinnor.

First half opening score from Daley Aremu, finishing a good backs move built …
A ninth home win of the National League Two East campaign for Blackheath, who remain unbeaten at Well Hall, but no other side can claim to have pushed them as hard as Old Albanians. The Hertfordshire side arrived as one of only two teams to have defeated the Club this term, and with the confidence of their 24-19 victory at …
Frustration for Blackheath on Saturday, as their latest National League Two East match at Bury St Edmunds was called off just 30 minutes before its scheduled kick off time of 3 pm. With a succession of night-time temperatures below freezing, the Club had raised concerns in the days ahead of the game about the condition of the Haberden playing surface, …
Congratulations to Markus Burcham and Tom Stradwick who received caps for playing 200 games for Blackheath Rugby today. In fact, they’ve played 435 matches between them, with Burch on 234 and Strads on 201. Phenomenal. Tom’s first match for The Club was on 3 Dec 2011, against Birmingham & Solihull, and only a matter of weeks later Markus started his …
A resounding win to extend Blackheath’s winning home record to eight matches, as well as increasing their lead at the head of National League Two East to nine points.
