A try in the 78th minute from second-row Martin Gerrard secured a first win of the season for Caldy, and left Blackheath frustrated with a third losing bonus point for their campaign to date. The Club, however, will only have themselves to blame. They had ample possession and territory throughout the contest to strike the decisive blow but, for the …
‘No, I didn’t know that,’ was Ed Taylor’s response when I informed him that he was only the fourth player to be appointed as captain of Blackheath since 2005. ‘To be honest though, I’ve been chosen for this season, and that’s all I’m focused on.

Match Squad for tomorrows match away at Moseley
A tight finish with Blackheath coming close to snatching a win that seemed highly unlikely after 45 minutes.
