Club put Sale FC away 33-19 on the road last week, a 22-19 home loss coming on the back of ruthless 52-7 and 64-22 triumphs at Darlington Mowden Park and Esher.

Another 22-19 reverse against in-form Plymouth Albion preceded those two victories, but Blackheath put Birmingham Moseley to the sword 51-26 on the back of a narrow 26-25 setback at Rosslyn Park at the start of the year.

Club ended 2024 with 39-32 and 22-19 successes against Bishop’s Stortford and Leicester Lions after going down to a 15-12 last-play loss at title-chasing Rotherham Titans, a 16-7 home triumph coming off the back of a 33-14 loss in Rams’ best performance of the campaign.

In Week Nine Club toppled Sale 31-27 to make it three wins on the spin after overcoming Sedgley Park 36-24 on the road and Esher 50-27 at Well Hall, a contentious 29-23 defeat at Plymouth coming before.

Club started October with an emphatic 40-5 home success against DMP, their earlier results up-and-down – Moseley victorious 35-13, Rosslyn falling 32-24, Stortford thrashed 39-10 away from home and Richmond taking the spoils 31-20 on the opening day of the season.

Players to Watch:

Billy Harding – Club play a power-packed game with their hooker leading the top-scorers with 13 to date this term.

A former Club Mini, Harding has also played for Wasps, Ampthill, Coventry, London Scottish and Rosslyn Park, along with England Counties before returning to his boyhood side ahead of the 2023/24 season.

Noah Sloot – Back-row forward has enjoyed a phenomenal campaign since turning his loan move from Championship-side Cambridge into a permanent move.

Ten tries in 18 appearance – including one at OBR back in November, a follow-up to another last March, makes him a danger man.

Tom Ffitch – Dead-eye goal-kicker currently sits second in the National One top points-scorers, 206 to his name with four tries, 60 conversions and 22 penalties for a Blackheath team which are the fourth top-scorers (653) in the division.

A storied youth career saw him involved with Saracens Academy, Loughborough University and England Sevens before swapping Richmond for Blackheath a couple of years ago – 302 points helping his side to the National Two East title.
