MATCH PREVIEW – BLACKHEATH (A)

Round three of National League Rugby is here and the 1st XV are travelling to London rivals, Blackheath on Saturday for a 3PM kick off.

Blackheath play at the Utilita in South-East London and are coming off a strong win away to Bishops Stortford in round two. In round one, Richmond went to The Utilita and left with a 20-31 victory.

Park’s results against Blackheath last season entailed a 0-15 Victory away and a 29-29 draw at The Rock. ‘The Club’ managed an 8th place finish in the 23/24 National League One season.

Blackheath play an expressive, open brand of rugby and that should make for an exciting contest. As we’re so early in the season its hard to tell how teams will shape up however both teams will be keen on getting a win in this London clash.

If you cannot make it over to the game, all updates will be provided on X @RosslynPark. We hope everybody has a lovely weekend and hopefully the boys can get a win.
