Hammers suffer against resurgent Camberley

Heart. It was on display in abundance for the 1st XV’s game against Camberley, a tough match against a tough opposition employing a game plan that played to their strengths, helped in no small part by Mother Nature dumping rain on the boys as they left the changing room. Thickening up the already-heavy pitch, Camberley’s […]

Hammers 1s set phasers to “kill”

Captain’s Log: Star date 12.10.24. The Hammersmith Enterprise has discovered a new club deep in Womble territory. Backline resources are as thin as Harry Scarr’s hair. First impressions are of a sloped landscape and temperamental weather system. Lieutenant Marshall has already proposed we hold out for firmer ground. We dragged Rogan out of his party […]

Bastard 2s go down to a strong Wimbledon side

Hammersmith and Fulham 2nd XV arrived at Wimbledon RFC looking to build on the momentum of a strong home performance against Horsham after a break between games. The match began as a finely balanced contest. Hammersmith enjoyed early dominance in the scrum but struggled to find their rhythm in the lineout, two key themes that […]

Hammers fall short against Horsham

This truly was a Bastards team, with the returning Joe Carolan, Steve John and Ben Hibberd featuring in a team-sheet oozing sex appeal. From kick-off we looked comfortable with ball in hand, working the […]

Injury ravaged Hammers limp to defeat against Stags 

Hammers came into the weekend on a positive note after a hard fought loss to Jersey where they put in an impressive performance against a tough side. Coming off 2 bad losses to Stags last season, redemption was on the minds of the players, but sadly this was not that kind of movie.   Minute 1, […]

Hammers 3rd VX suffer from a quiet first half

The classic cliché of a game of two halves, with the boys finally getting into gear in the second half sunshine.   A tough day out for the Hammers 3’s with a team of just 13 players showing up for the beginning of the contest, on a fantastic day for running rugby. A show a chivalry […]

Hammers 1st XV come up short against Jersey

A warm 25 degrees, a beautiful day for some running rugby down at Hurlingham Park . In what would become a thrilling encounter, the stated underdogs that were Hammersmith & Fulham RFC faced off against the recently promoted Jersey, replete with a handful of former championship players who had elected to ply their trade at […]
