The reorganisation of domestic rugby was always likely to throw up a few mismatches, and this one signalled itself sometime in advance. Westcliff arrived at Well Hall on this cloudy afternoon having claimed nothing more than three bonus points from their ten previous matches, while Blackheath, sitting at the head of the table, were scoring at an average of 40-points …
At Hervey Road there was a small area at the back of the all-weather court that has been left to its own devices over the years. We spoke to Greenwich to get their approval to turn this into a little wildlife area and they put us in touch with Stuart Smith at Blakeney Leigh Surveyors who work with the Greenwich …
A resounding win to take Blackheath back to the top of National League Two East, but within lies a tale of a game which, for at least the first half, was much closer than the lopsided final scoreline might suggest. Sevenoaks, promoted as champions of the then London & South East Premier last season, and enjoying a first-ever season at …
An array of former Blackheath players, of a recent vintage, and with an aggregate of Club appearances close to one thousand, were invited attendees at this match. They would have been disappointed to leave The Slade having witnessed a less-than-classic performance by the present incumbents of the Club shirt, and one which saw Blackheath knocked off the top of National …
Another comfortable home win for Blackheath, their fifth at Well Hall where they remain unbeaten this term, and one which keeps them firmly at the helm in National League Two East. In contrast, North Walsham, looking to re-establish themselves at domestic rugby’s fourth tier after two successive promotions, sit second from bottom of the table, but had the notable scalp …
Photos courtesy of Lou from Henley A sunny, unseasonably warm afternoon close to the banks of the Thames, and a hard-fought, physical encounter that, while perhaps not matching the beauty of the surrounds, remained tense and absorbing throughout. With just one point separating the two sides, in third and first places respectively, in National League Two East at the start …
The two highest points scoring sides at the start of the afternoon in National League Two East, produced a further eleven tries in this contest, Blackheath crossing for eight of them to emerge comfortable winners, and regain top spot at the head of the table. While Blackheath had stumbled at Old Albanian the previous week, Guernsey arrived at Well Hall …
Defeat for Blackheath for the first time in this campaign, inflicted by an Old Albanian side who started well, finished better and, in so doing, leapfrogged the Club to take top spot in National League Two East. Nevertheless, Blackheath will have left The Woollams, knowing full well they had an iron grip on this contest by the hour-mark, until the …
Tomorrow Blackheath travel to Hertfordshire for what could, even at this early stage, be one of the defining matches of this season’s National League Two East campaign. The Club have taken maximum points from their four games to date, and currently head the table. However, right behind them, just one-point adrift, and with the same number of victories, sit Old …
A comfortable enough margin of victory, and Blackheath will be happy with maintaining their one hundred percent record to keep them at the head of National League 2 East. However, Bury St Edmunds will also have left Well Hall content with a 4-try bonus, and knowing their three score burst in six minutes in the third quarter tested the hosts …
