Noah Sloot’s try, with just two minutes remaining on the clock, rescued Blackheath from a calamitous spell post-interval, and in so doing maintained their fifth position in National League One at the halfway stage of the campaign. The Club looked comfortable at the break, although only leading 5-0, but Leicester Lions emerged from the changing-room to launch a devastating blitz, …
Blackheath Women vs Hove — 08 Dec 2024 Blackheath Women deliver a good performance at home, notwithstanding the unforgiving weather delivered by storm Darragh. The game started with a bang as Clemence Labat (13) demonstrated her sharp instincts just three minutes in, intercepting a pass and sprinting over the try line to put Blackheath on the scoreboard. 5-0. At the …
A drop-goal from Corben Ollivent, as the clock ticked past the 80-minute mark, denied Blackheath what would have been a hard-fought draw, and kept Rotherham pressing in third position in National League One. With Storm Darragh producing a swirling wind, a greasy ball, and an increasingly cut-up playing surface, the Yorkshiremen worked a position in front of the uprights for …
On Saturday the Bandits were on the road again, this time to play Bromley 3s who sat second in the league at the time. In a testament to both teams bucking the trend of declining numbers across grassroots rugby, they both agreed to have a seven man bench, as opposed to the league standard of three. Given the strong winds, …
A hard-fought, ground-out win for Blackheath in awful conditions, but pushed all the way by a Dings side that dominated much of the game and who were unfortunate to leave the Utilita empty-handed. For the last 25 minutes, the Bristol club, new to National League One this term, pounded the Club defence but, one breach apart, the red and black …
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 …
