Another eight tries to add to the ten from the previous Saturday, and the half-century racked up in successive weeks, in this convincing win on a breezy afternoon at Merton Lane, which takes Blackheath to the top of National League Two East. Included in the tally, a hat-trick for outside-centre Jake Hennessey and a brace for left-wing Alex Harris, both …
Total domination from start to finish, with Blackheath crossing the try-line on ten occasions, to rack up their best margin of victory since their 82-0 victory against Manchester on 28th November 2009. From the second minute, when Jake Lloyd cruised down the left flank and found Harry Holland on hand to feed Nick Foster coming up from full-back for the …

A double header at Chinnor this weekend – the Club XV kick off at 13:00 against Chinnor 2nds, and the 1st XV are playing at 15:00. Don’t forget – if you’re not going to Thame to watch the matches, we have a volunteer day at Well Hall, 10:00-13:00. Everyone welcome!
