And just like that, exactly 300 days since the 1st day of the preseason, the 2025/26 season comes to end. What a season it was, with over 250 players across our men, women and vet’s sections playing 105 games, scoring 2661 points, winning 3 trophies, and drinking thousands of pints! Thanks to everyone who pitched […]
There are some Saturdays that feel like they have been set aside by the gods specifically for the boys, and this turned out to be one of them. The sun was shining, the men were well rested, and the stage was set for what Mitch Currie had so eloquently dubbed: “The Grand Final”. The Thirsty […]
The time had arrived, finals day. With the 3s also playing in a cup of their own and the ******** playing at Wimbledon RFC against Worthing, the stage was set for a historic day for the club. A strong warm up from the boys on a pitch resembling the smoothness of a teenagers face, meant […]
Captains log April 11th, 2026. We set sail on the good ship Hammer with high spirits and safe in the knowledge there was only one more encounter before we could return to port for a well-earned rest. Farnham Bay was home to a swirling wind that was almost as fierce as the DJ they’d hired […]
There are games where the scoreboard tells the story… and then there are games like this one, where the chaos, charm, and occasional brilliance of rugby at Hurlingham Park deserve far more than a glance at the numbers. Under clear skies and with the familiar hum of touchline optimism, Hammersmith & Fulham II welcomed Belsize […]
There’s a particular kind of Saturday that every rugby player secretly craves.

The kind where the opposition arrive looking slightly uncertain, the first half ends before they’ve had time to find their feet, and […]
Friday Night Lights The scene was set at a buzzing Hurlingham Park for the first Friday Night Lights fixture of the season. With the regular season drawing to a close and a play-off spot hanging in the balance, the atmosphere was electric. This wasn’t just any game; it was a showdown with Wasps RFC 2nd team, and the […]
The Hammers had a strong week of preparation ahead of what was set to be their toughest test of the season so far… Jersey, top of the league, away. An early evening flight and a squad dinner once touchdown created a positive mood for both armies to take to the field. Shouts of ‘BUFFALO’, ‘HOT […]
If Tolkien taught us anything, it’s that some days aren’t about the comfort of the Shire—they’re about trudging into the shadow, locking shields, and discovering whether your mates will still be mates when the scoreboard starts looking like a prophecy you’d rather not read aloud. And so it was for Hammersmith & Fulham, marching into […]
The fate of middle earth hinged on the outcome of the Battle of Helms Deep in Tolkien’s epic three-part trilogy. And like that famous battle, Hammers’ season depended on today, on the Battle of Camberley (at home…), for the boys to take home 5 points in the fight between good and evil. The plains of […]
