Match report by Craig Molloy Having just come up short in an excellent game against Ampthill last Saturday, the Club XV were determined to get back to winning ways. Following a respectful two minute silence in remembrance of those who paid the ultimate sacrifice in two World Wars and other conflicts, Blackheath started as they had last week with a …
The two clubs who played out a nil-nil draw in the first-ever game of rugby union back in 1864, and who went into this National League One match evenly placed, produced another tight contest, Blackheath hanging on for victory after Richmond scored a 75th minute try to bring them within range. ‘It was a strange game,’ said Blackheath boss James …
Given the awful weather for much of the week leading up to this match you might have wondered what kind of fare the good crowd at The Utilita might have expected. That the weather was warm, dry and sunny with little breeze helped both sides to serve up a bit of a treat. A 12 try match with both sides …
A disappointing return to National League One action for Blackheath, as they succumbed to the might of the Plymouth Albion pack on this squally afternoon at Brickfields. The conditions were made for forwards, with the frequent showers adding to a ground made soft by recent heavy rain, and with Albion holding the advantage in size and weight in just about …
Blackheath Bandits vs Shooters Hill 28 October 2023 The Bandits went to the top of Kent Met B on Saturday with a satisfying 31-12 victory against a Shooters Hill side which was considerably reinforced by Charlton Park Rugby Club.

Another hotly contested match took place last Sunday away at Barnes RFC. Unfortunately, it was not meant to be for our team, with the final whistle blowing at 27-25. We kicked off to Barnes on a sunny autumnal afternoon. The quick Barnes team was first to score in the corner but didn’t convert. A Blackheath jackal, quick free-flow play and …
The U15s ran out worthy winners against a spirited Gillingham Anchorians side 31-17. After a pedestrian start, club scored a length of the field try through Michael Bridge which really woke them up. Further tries from Joseph Oshilaja and another “team” try finished off in the backs saw Club in control. Gills came into the game a little more and …
Bexley vs Blackheath Bandits Saturday 14 October 2023 The Bandits resumed their league campaign on Saturday against a numerically understrength Bexley, which under the Game On protocols meant a 10-a-side game. The Club team enjoyed the extra space on the pitch, and ran out 19-65 winners. Though the game was unusual for this reason, experience of recent years has provided …
Blackheath U12s vs. Beckenham Wolf Cubs (Kent Cup / Waterfall – Round 2), Beckenham RFC Sunday 15 October – KO 11:00 In a weekend of immense international rugby across the channel, a bright but chilly SE London morning saw our own Blackheath U12s travel to Beckenham for Round 2 of the Kent Waterfall Tournament. Following an excellent first-round performance at …
Both sides entered this contest with four wins from six matches, and with just one point and one place separating them in the National League One table.
