Photos courtesy of Lou from Henley A sunny, unseasonably warm afternoon close to the banks of the Thames, and a hard-fought, physical encounter that, while perhaps not matching the beauty of the surrounds, remained tense and absorbing throughout. With just one point separating the two sides, in third and first places respectively, in National League Two East at the start …
Blackheath 48 Guernsey 19
The two highest points scoring sides at the start of the afternoon in National League Two East, produced a further eleven tries in this contest, Blackheath crossing for eight of them to emerge comfortable winners, and regain top spot at the head of the table. While Blackheath had stumbled at Old Albanian the previous week, Guernsey arrived at Well Hall …
Old Albanian 24 Blackheath 19
Defeat for Blackheath for the first time in this campaign, inflicted by an Old Albanian side who started well, finished better and, in so doing, leapfrogged the Club to take top spot in National League Two East. Nevertheless, Blackheath will have left The Woollams, knowing full well they had an iron grip on this contest by the hour-mark, until the …
Blackdarts victory !
Our U16s took to the field to play their first ever Kent league match against Sidcup at Well Hall on Sunday. The BlackDarts are continuing to progress as a team as they begin their competitive journey in an ever expanding landscape. Summer wasn’t quite done as the sun broke though the clouds come kick off making it a tough encounter. …
Blackheath 46 Bury St Edmunds 28
A comfortable enough margin of victory, and Blackheath will be happy with maintaining their one hundred percent record to keep them at the head of National League 2 East. However, Bury St Edmunds will also have left Well Hall content with a 4-try bonus, and knowing their three score burst in six minutes in the third quarter tested the hosts …
Canterbury 12 Blackheath 57
Another eight tries to add to the ten from the previous Saturday, and the half-century racked up in successive weeks, in this convincing win on a breezy afternoon at Merton Lane, which takes Blackheath to the top of National League Two East. Included in the tally, a hat-trick for outside-centre Jake Hennessey and a brace for left-wing Alex Harris, both …
Blackheath 64 Rochford Hundred 5
Total domination from start to finish, with Blackheath crossing the try-line on ten occasions, to rack up their best margin of victory since their 82-0 victory against Manchester on 28th November 2009. From the second minute, when Jake Lloyd cruised down the left flank and found Harry Holland on hand to feed Nick Foster coming up from full-back for the …
Blackheath 29 Dorking 10
Clear daylight between the sides at the final whistle, but Dorking made Blackheath work mighty hard for this opening day win, with the result only settled in the final quarter. In the end though, the Surrey team had no answer to the power of the Club’s pack and their driving maul, which set the platform for all five of their …
Blackheath 42 Esher 14
An encouraging final dress-rehearsal for Blackheath who quickly recovered from an early setback to outscore their opponents six tries to two. Esher it was who had the better start, as a beauty of a 50:22 set up a series of drives from which Hugh Sloan crossed for a converted score on five minutes. However, showing the greater pace and commitment, …
Chinnor 29 Blackheath 14
Photos courtesy of Alan Smith Three tries in the last ten minutes put a gloss on the score line, in a game that was much closer than the final tally would suggest. Chinnor took the lead early with a converted try by Reece Mitchell off lineout ball on seven minutes, and kept the visitors in their own half of the …
