On Thursday 21 May, representatives from Blackheath Rugby joined friends from other clubs across the county of Kent to celebrate the 2025-26 season. Rory O’Sullivan, Club President, writes about the evening, below. “I was delighted to attend the Kent Rugby Awards dinner, where there were over 200 attendees from rugby clubs from all over the county. The awards were presented …
Mike Fletcher, matchday programme editor, looks back on last Saturday’s play off win, in his view from the sideline. There are many reasons I regret moving to Essex (no really – don’t get me started!) but right up there is this: if you want to see top-class rugby it’s the worst place to start! As evidenced by my three-hour …
From the very first Sunday morning back in September to the playoff atmosphere at Well Hall, the 2025/26 season has been packed with rugby, growth, muddy boots, early starts, loud touchlines, festivals, mascots and a lot of happy chaos. And perhaps more importantly, it’s shown just how strong the Blackheath Minis community has become. Across the Minis section we now …
Full time on the 2025/6 season for the Blackheath Men’s Section, and it’s been a cracker! For the first time in a decade, the section fielded two teams in league competition. The section put out the Brigands (3rd XV) in Kent Counties 5 and the Bandits (4th XV) in Kent Met A (4th/Bandits), while also having the veterans (Buccaneers) in …

Rugby at The Utilita may be over for a few weeks (although there’s still one big game to play!!) but the hard work never stops. As always, there is a lot of work to be done at The Utilita over the summer to keep the site in top condition, and we’re putting the call out for a Volunteer Army to …
Just under a week to go before we welcome Plymouth Albion to The Utilita for the National One Play Off! Have you planned your journey yet? If you’ve not been to the home of Blackheath Rugby before, it’s very easy to find! We’re well served by public transport — under ten minutes walk from Eltham Station, and lots of local …
What a day Saturday was! The sun was shining, we had a huge crowd, the boys won, and we confirmed a home play off. Of course, it was also the end of the standard league season, so we handed out the Senior squad’s player awards, along with the Club Volunteer awards (see video here see video here). Congratulations to all …
As the season approaches a climactic finish, our Schools Programme also reaches its peak. On 10 March, we hosted a training session and half-time exhibition match on the 1XV pitch during the game against Rotherham, featuring 30 boys from Woolwich Poly Boys (and two girls!). Sitting in the stand was Dave Evans, a regular attendee and Head of St. Columba’s …

We’re looking forward to welcoming a big crowd at The Utilita for the last league match of 2025/26 before the play offs ❤️🖤 As it’s the last game of the season, we’re also going to have an extra special award presentation afterwards. …
