Frustration for Blackheath on Saturday, as their latest National League Two East match at Bury St Edmunds was called off just 30 minutes before its scheduled kick off time of 3 pm. With a succession of night-time temperatures below freezing, the Club had raised concerns in the days ahead of the game about the condition of the Haberden playing surface, …
The Blackheath Rugby Under 12s took on Sittingbourne Rugby Club in a hard-fought contest that ended in a 5-5 draw. Despite the long journey to Sittingbourne, the team arrived ready to play and were greeted with great hospitality from their opponents. The home team provided changing rooms and food for the Blackheath players, setting the tone for a highly competitive …
A resounding win to extend Blackheath’s winning home record to eight matches, as well as increasing their lead at the head of National League Two East to nine points. The Club were on top from the outset, as a knock-on from the kick-off gave the host side a scrum, from which Alex Brown and Jake Lloyd combined out wide on …
Photos courtesy of Deborah Lloyd A bonus point victory to take Blackheath six-points clear at the top of National League Two East and, if not a vintage performance, a fitting result to mark a 200th Club appearance for Tom Stradwick. In a messy game, befitting a damp, grey, windy afternoon, Blackheath produced enough in the opening period of their first-ever …
Blackheath 24 Old Colfeians 10 On a cold and windy night, with driving rain blowing horizontally across the pitch for most of the first half, the next generation of Blackheath and Old Colfeians players did both clubs proud by producing an exciting match in pursuit of the Anthony Fitzgerald Cup. A physical encounter (only to be expected between these two …
It looked an emphatic win in the end, but Barnes tested Blackheath as hard as anyone at Well Hall in National League Two East this term, and had their lineout served them better, might have pushed the scoreline harder. As it was, Blackheath etched out another resounding victory, and one which widens their lead at the head of the table …
The reorganisation of domestic rugby was always likely to throw up a few mismatches, and this one signalled itself sometime in advance. Westcliff arrived at Well Hall on this cloudy afternoon having claimed nothing more than three bonus points from their ten previous matches, while Blackheath, sitting at the head of the table, were scoring at an average of 40-points …
A resounding win to take Blackheath back to the top of National League Two East, but within lies a tale of a game which, for at least the first half, was much closer than the lopsided final scoreline might suggest. Sevenoaks, promoted as champions of the then London & South East Premier last season, and enjoying a first-ever season at …
An array of former Blackheath players, of a recent vintage, and with an aggregate of Club appearances close to one thousand, were invited attendees at this match. They would have been disappointed to leave The Slade having witnessed a less-than-classic performance by the present incumbents of the Club shirt, and one which saw Blackheath knocked off the top of National …
Another comfortable home win for Blackheath, their fifth at Well Hall where they remain unbeaten this term, and one which keeps them firmly at the helm in National League Two East. In contrast, North Walsham, looking to re-establish themselves at domestic rugby’s fourth tier after two successive promotions, sit second from bottom of the table, but had the notable scalp …
