Picture Claire Jeffrey Esher 14 Blackheath 38 Errors aplenty, you’d expect that under the circumstances. The layoff apart, the ball, greasy from the light rain before and during the contest, slipped from both team’s grasp in the early stages, frequently turning possession. Blackheath too, were guilty of a raft of early penalties, setting them on the back foot and leading …
Rosslyn Park 31 Blackheath 19 The result may not have been what Blackheath wanted, but the sun shone, and both clubs were playing a full 15 a-side game for the first time in seventeen months.

For much of the contest Bishop’s Stortford held sway, while Blackheath’s discipline crumbled and, easing their way back from an early deficit, looked like they might make it a hat-trick of victories in only their third visit to …
Opening day bonus for Blackheath Not the most well-oiled performance but Blackheath will, nevertheless, be pleased with an opening day bonus point win from a venue where they’ve frequently come unstuck. Indeed, prior to this game, Molesey Road had seen just two Blackheath wins in ten visits, and was the setting where the Club’s promising start to their 2017/18 …
Off the mark! A hard-fought victory for Blackheath to wipe away the memory of their dismal performance at Hartpury College a week ago, but perhaps more significantly in the long-run, to mark a new era for the Club in the surrounds of their Well Hall home.
