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 …
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.

Just seven wins from 28 matches saw the Club relegated from National League One, losing a position they’d held solidly for 18 consecutive years in domestic rugby’s third tier. Many of those years had seen them challenging near the top of the table, and seeking a coveted …
An encouraging final dress-rehearsal for Blackheath who quickly recovered from an early setback to outscore their opponents six tries to two. Esher it was who had the better start, as a beauty of a 50:22 set up a series of drives from which Hugh Sloan crossed for a converted score on five minutes. However, showing the greater pace and commitment, …
