The 2s trip to Barnes this week was sure to be a tough game, facing an oppo who are challenging for the top of the table this year (and who’s 2s we played only 2 seasons ago in NC3!). As anticipated, Barnes came at us from kick off with early pressure. Their speed and physicality […]
Hammersmith & Fulham made the trip up to Watford this weekend to what can only be described as a fierce London derby against Fullerians. The home side have proven themselves as strong opponents this season with notable victories against Old Priorians and Belsize Park. With this in mind, the boys from West London prepared themselves […]
Thankfully the storm from last week has passed and the Hammers were blessed with (mostly) sunshine at Hurlingham to face off against Hampstead. After a tough loss in terrible conditions last week, Hammers were keen to bounce straight back and that’s exactly what we did. Hammers had possession from kick off and looked to make […]
The heavens opened on southwest London to leave Hurligham Parks looking more like a swamp than a rugby pitch, but this wouldn’t deter the men of Hammersmith. The return fixture against Chiswick 2s awaited what on paper would be a strong Hammers 3s. With the ref’s chat about cold IPAs and the apparent healthy Christmas […]
As the old saying goes, good things come to those who wait. Which is true of both the game against Old Haberdashers and this match report. After over a month without rugby, Hammers 1XV returned after the Christmas break with a hotly anticipated match against Old Haberdashers. Though the conditions were dire, the excitement around […]

With losses and cancellations the order of the day for December, Hammers 4th XV ended 2022 on a sour note; the lads eager to get back to winning ways in 2023. Fattened up on minced pies, boy did they show it. With the weather looking biblical from the offset, a strong squad graced the passing […]
Happy New Year Hammers fans! I hope you all had wonderful Christmases filled with good food and New Year’s Eve parties adorned with plentiful booze and friends. The Hammers’ boys certainly enjoyed their time off but were raring to go after 5 weeks without games due to the cold weather back in December. Their mood […]
“You can learn a line from a win and a book from a defeat” – Paul Brown, NFL coach As the Hammers 1st XV rolled into Beaconsfield RFC on a cold December Saturday, much learning could be found in the previous weekend’s loss. Memories of the missed kicks, missed tackles and missed opportunities were still […]
In the weeks leading up to this game, we’d been working hard on individual skills and our game day structure as a whole. But we knew that the real order of the day was to up our intensity and bring some real aggression and self belief to this match day squad. Whilst Hammers ran through […]
