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 …
Blackheath 22 Chinnor 17
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 …
Cinderford 18 Blackheath 30
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 …
U12s: Folkestone Spitfires v Club
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.

Darlington Mowden Park 42 Blackheath 27
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 …

Blackheath 10 Sale FC 21
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 …
Blackheath 27 Leicester Lions 29
A narrow, but deserved, and much needed victory for the side who started the day at the foot of National League One. Apart from a five-minute spell around the hour-mark, Blackheath had to concede second best to the East Midlands club on their first-ever league visit, which left no one at The Utilita in any doubt, that there are no …
Sedgley Park 17 Blackheath 24
Without doubt a Blackheath performance way above anything seen in the twilight days of 2023, and arguably their best display of the current National League One season to date. Sedgley Park have fared well in their return to domestic rugby’s Level Three after a gap of ten years, winning nine from thirteen prior to this match and sitting fourth in …
Hove 5-26 Blackheath Women
Sunday 10th December saw Blackheath Women travelling down to Hove for their 7th match of the season. In very wet weather, the conditions of the pitch got the approval of the officials. Kick off went ahead with Blackheath receiving. However, the sheer level of mud on the pitch proved difficult from the start and lead to a scrum to Blackheath. …
