A tight first period between the fifth- and seventh-placed teams in National League One, but a devastating second from Blackheath, the Club demonstrating huge intensity after the break and scoring four tries in a 20-minute spell to leave the visitors in tatters. Jake Hennessey went across after collecting Tom Ffitch’s long pass out wide, before the same pair got involved …
The A4G pitch at The Rock in Priory Lane ensured this game was never in doubt despite the freeze, and the good-sized crowd who braved the bitter cold were rewarded with a terrific contest between the sides sitting fourth and fifth in National League One. The match would be as tight as the final tally would suggest, with Blackheath holding …
As ever, the annual Anthony Fitzgerald Cup was a huge success. For a change, the Weather Gods were on our side and all that the players and officials had to deal with was a bit of fog, rather than the usual sub zero temperatures and/or horizontal rain. The game itself was a huge tribute to both teams who, despite not …
A fine second half performance from Blackheath giving them to back-to-back home wins to maintain fifth place in National League One prior to the Christmas break, but kept honest by a Stortford side who never gave up and pushed hard to the end. On a damp, blustery December afternoon, Tom Ffitch gave Blackheath a three-point start for not rolling, but …
Noah Sloot’s try, with just two minutes remaining on the clock, rescued Blackheath from a calamitous spell post-interval, and in so doing maintained their fifth position in National League One at the halfway stage of the campaign.

At the …
A drop-goal from Corben Ollivent, as the clock ticked past the 80-minute mark, denied Blackheath what would have been a hard-fought draw, and kept Rotherham pressing in third position in National League One. With Storm Darragh producing a swirling wind, a greasy ball, and an increasingly cut-up playing surface, the Yorkshiremen worked a position in front of the uprights for …
On Saturday the Bandits were on the road again, this time to play Bromley 3s who sat second in the league at the time. In a testament to both teams bucking the trend of declining numbers across grassroots rugby, they both agreed to have a seven man bench, as opposed to the league standard of three. Given the strong winds, …
A hard-fought, ground-out win for Blackheath in awful conditions, but pushed all the way by a Dings side that dominated much of the game and who were unfortunate to leave the Utilita empty-handed. For the last 25 minutes, the Bristol club, new to National League One this term, pounded the Club defence but, one breach apart, the red and black …

Blackheath …
