A big crowd, a significant anniversary, and a fine gesture by Richmond FC to mark International Women’s Day by offering free entry to all women attendees. Sadly though, a game that failed to live up to the occasion. Neither Richmond nor Blackheath will look back at this match, celebrating 160 years since these two sides played what is recognised as …
A bright but chilly morning saw the U12s make the journey round the south circular to face Old Alleynian Lions in their third match of the Waterfall Tournament. With both teams unbeaten thus far in round 2, it was sure to be an interesting match. With kick off pushed back more than once, the ref blew to signify the start …
Jake Lloyd celebrated his 200th appearance in Club colours with his 107th try, as Blackheath claimed a third successive win for the first time in the current National League One campaign. It came at an important moment for the hosts too as, with 54 minutes played Albion, who started the day five places above Blackheath in the league table in …
A dry and breezy day saw our U12s take on Chinnor U12s as part of a triple header at The Utilita. With both teams up for the spectacle, it took only 3 minutes for Club to pile on the pressure. Lorcan Reilly breaking through the defence only to be stopped on the line, but popped the ball to Oliver Gowing …
An outstanding performance from Blackheath, halting a run which had seen four successive home defeats and, on top of the win at Cinderford the previous week, putting further daylight between the Club and the National League One drop zone. At the same time, the result ended a sequence of nine straight wins for league-leaders Chinnor, inflicting a significant blow to …
A stop-start game, punctuated by numerous penalties, most especially in a somewhat stodgy first period. Blackheath won’t mind a jot though, as this win, their first in four matches, gives the Club a precious four points, and some clear water between themselves and the National League One drop zone. On a Dockham Road surface made heavy by recent rains, Blackheath …
A dry but windy day saw the U12s make the journey along the A20 to face the Folkestone Spitfires in their second game of Stage 2 of the Waterfall competition. Bouncing off a good win last Sunday, the boys were in good spirits, despite the challenge of playing on a smaller pitch! We started strong in the first half with …
Photos courtesy of Andy Hall. An improved performance from Blackheath, and one which, for an hour, kept them within range of claiming reward for their long trip to County Durham. However, failure to grasp opportunities that might have put the Club in control of this contest, only succeeded in releasing pressure on the opposition, resulting in defeat and an increasingly …
Club 65-25 Aylesford Bulls A crisp Sunday morning at the Utilita saw the clubs U12’s kick off their campaign in stage two of the Kent Boys Youth league. Blackheath enter the stage following an impressive start to the season with a three to one winning record in round one. The club’s opponents for the day, Aylesford Bulls, finished their stage …
Nobody will have left The Utilita feeling they’d witnessed a classic after this contest, but Sale departed with a precious four points, while for Blackheath it meant successive defeats to a side propping up the National League One table. Sale deserved it too. If their three tries came gift-wrapped, they had the patience and initiative to exploit their chances, while …
