It looked an emphatic win in the end, but Barnes tested Blackheath as hard as anyone at Well Hall in National League Two East this term, and had their lineout served them better, might have pushed the scoreline harder. As it was, Blackheath etched out another resounding victory, and one which widens their lead at the head of the table …
In March this year, a young boy from Kansas and his father were on a train from Exeter to London, after visiting a donkey sanctuary in Sidmouth, Devon. When the train pulled in to Taunton, they noticed a rugby team waiting on the platform. The squad boarded the train, got in to the same carriage as the two Americans and, …
Unfortunately the Club XV match has been cancelled so just the 1st XV tomorrow. Here is the squad list:
A lot has been written in newspapers and across social media about the sad passing of Doddie Weir. To those who never had the opportunity to meet him or experience his personality, the profusion of articles and kind words might raise some curiosity. Sadly, Motor Neurone Disease has been around a long time and the claiming of yet another victim …
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 …

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 …
