A valiant effort from Blackheath in a hard-fought, and sometimes tetchy, contest, but the National League One leaders ultimately proving too strong. On a grey November afternoon at Old Bath Road, Rams scored five tries, all from set-play moves, to make it ten out of ten wins, and keep their quest for promotion to the Championship firmly on course. Blackheath …
Fri 08 Nov: Sidcup 3s 19-34 Blackheath Bandits The Bandits got the weekends rugby underway on Friday night as they made the short trip down the road to play Sidcup 3s. The hosts are well known to the Bandits and are in the league above the Clubs social side. The fixture came about because both teams had a rest weekend …
A pulsating climax, but a game Blackheath really should have closed out long before the final whistle sounded. The Club played some of the best rugby of their National League One campaign to date in the opening half hour, carving out a 17-point advantage only for a wobble around half time seeing it eroded. In the end they did enough …
An outstanding performance from the Club pack laid the foundation for Blackheath’s fifth bonus-point victory of the 2024/25 National League One campaign, and their sixth win at Park Lane in seven visits. Despite falling behind early on, an ever-improving set-piece and forward dominance enabled the visitors to reclaim parity by the interval before taking control in the second period, ensuring …
Sunday 20th October 2024 Blackheath Women vs Barnes Women A blustery, drizzly Sunday afternoon saw this concussed prop (Rebecca Carter) trot on over to Rectory Fields to watch her mighty team Blackheath Women take on Barnes. This match report must be caveated to say that it’s exceptionally biased and not explicitly factually correct. AND I would like to request that …
A big win for Blackheath and a crushing defeat for Esher who continue to struggle on their return to National League One after a season in the lower division. The Surrey side arrived at The Utilita having won just one of their opening six matches, conceding more points than any other team, and left with another half-century added to that …
Possibly the toughest stronghold in domestic rugby’s National League One to breach, and Blackheath will know they came very close to doing so. In a game where the points margin only stretched beyond a converted try for a total of eight minutes, the Club went into the final quarter with a six-point lead, and seemingly with the impetus turning in …
A thoroughly convincing win in the end for Blackheath, though not always as lop-sided as the final scoreline might suggest. Darlington Mowden Park arrived at the Utilita Well Hall, just one place from the foot of National League One, without a win, and having conceded no fewer than 40-points in each of their preceding games. Nevertheless, in an evenly contested …
A National League One match, the outcome of which would likely be determined by the prevalence of the Moseley forwards or the Blackheath backs, and it was the former who triumphed. Despite the dry, windless overhead conditions, and a good surface given the deluge of rain in the preceding days, the Club could not impose the pace and width required …
Photos: Debbie Lloyd An excellent game between two of National League One’s fiercest rivals, fast, furious, and physical, and all played out under glorious warm autumnal sunshine at The Utilita Well Hall. Throughout, Blackheath held the upper hand on the scoreboard, bar an eight-minute spell in the second period when Rosslyn Park looked to be gaining the ascendancy, but the …
