The Club’s biggest-ever away win (surpassing the 24-85 win at Waterloo in 2009), matching the 94-points and 14 tries scored against the same opposition at Well Hall in November. Four tries for Jake Lloyd, taking the wing beyond 100 scores in Club colours, but most significantly of all, a …
Photos courtesy of Deborah Lloyd Two early tries gave Blackheath a grip on this match, but the Club were never able to ease off against a determined and spirited Bury side. The Suffolk club, who sat fourth in National League Two East after a run of six victories, dominated large parts of this contest only to come up against an …
For the second week in succession Blackheath’s bid for promotion from National League Two East looked to be stumbling, as they found themselves under pressure from the outset in a match, and needing to play catch-up after conceding early scores and a sizeable deficit. Nevertheless, the Club recovered to place the game on a knife-edge at the interval, before turning …
26 February 2023 The Club Vets narrowly came second in their first match of 2023, at Gravesendians on Sunday. Having led 5-15 at half time, the Buccs toiled in the final quarter against a spirited home side, who made good use of the alpine gradient behind them in the second half, and who scored a try with the last …
The side sitting second from bottom of National League Two East, facing the club twelve points clear at the top, will rightly feel mighty disappointed with the end result of this contest. North Walsham fought magnificently, leading from the fifth to the 58th minute, their backs slicing through the Blackheath defences, making the visitors’ tackling look decidedly ordinary. In the …
A fine game, with Blackheath taking an early initiative, only for Henley to launch a strong fight-back, the Oxfordshire side taking lead on the hour-mark. Short-lived though as, during the final quarter, the Club showed the class that has seen them lead National League Two East for almost the entire season, scoring 24 unanswered points to ease out to victory. …
A sometimes devastating first period, followed by a largely forgettable second, but another bonus point win for Blackheath, the Club’s fifth of 2023, to extend their lead at the head of National League Two East. In the opening 40 minutes, Blackheath’s intensity was all too much for a Sevenoaks side lurking close to the other end of the table. The …
Photos courtesy of Deborah Lloyd For a second week in a row, Blackheath gained a hard-fought, ground-out, victory against one of their main challengers in National League Two East, and in so doing, made a further stride towards promotion and regaining the place in domestic rugby’s third tier they vacated a year ago. Like Old Albanian a week earlier, Worthing …
Five tries to two, and a third bonus point win on the spin following good wins against Esher and Chinnor. A brilliant first half performance from the Club XV, with four converted tries to two unconverted and great place kicking from Oli Burgess with four from five. First half opening score from Daley Aremu, finishing a good backs move built …
A ninth home win of the National League Two East campaign for Blackheath, who remain unbeaten at Well Hall, but no other side can claim to have pushed them as hard as Old Albanians. The Hertfordshire side arrived as one of only two teams to have defeated the Club this term, and with the confidence of their 24-19 victory at …
