For the second week in succession Blackheath’s bid for promotion from National League Two East looked to be stumbling, as they found themselves under pressure from the outset in a match, and needing to play catch-up after conceding early scores and a sizeable deficit. Nevertheless, the Club recovered to place the game on a knife-edge at the interval, before turning …
The side sitting second from bottom of National League Two East, facing the club twelve points clear at the top, will rightly feel mighty disappointed with the end result of this contest. North Walsham fought magnificently, leading from the fifth to the 58th minute, their backs slicing through the Blackheath defences, making the visitors’ tackling look decidedly ordinary. In the …

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 …
