Hammersmith and Fulham’s 15th league game of the season came after a turbulent time for the Hammers, a frustrating loss to Medway and a triumphant win at London Irish. A sinusoidal start to say the least. In the return fixture at Hurlingham Park, Farnham put in a dominant performance, only to be undone by an […]
With the dust having settled from the weekend before, which left many through the camp deflated, a palpable sense of redemption was in the air; the latest battle a mere few hours away. A wise man once said, “The greatest glory in living lies not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall” […]
The Hammers headed to London Zealand for an important top of the table clash which could be crucial in deciding the table come the end of the year. A strong start by the Kiwis and some lack of discipline from the Hammers meant we were soon pinned in our own 22, and after a strong […]
A crisp Saturday morning saw Hammers 3rd XV face Hackney down at Hurlingham park. Hammers were looking to close the gap on New Zealand Kiwis and Hackney were looking for a big win to boost them up the table. Once the team groundsmen Ben England and Matt Jones had finished filling the pitch with their […]
As your author sits down after a tough day at work, kicking back with a cup of tea and some country music in the background, he reminisces on another Saturday at Hurlingham Park; Hammers 2XV came into the weekend of a strangely disappointing to 0-22 victory at Old Haberdashers (Via Harpenden), where some poor […]
The Hammers approached their game of 2022 with a spring in their step. With our resident Doctor officially describing Omicron as “finished”, it was to be our first game in a month. And what a game to head straight into. 3rd Vs 4th. Win and the Hammers would take 3rd and be looking at chasing […]
The day arrived with optimism a plenty as the highly anticipated away bus trip to Harpenden RFC (playing host to our opposition Old Hab’s due to waterlogged pitches) was only a matter of hours, maybe minutes away for the 20 men of Hammersmith and Fulham Rugby Football Club 2XV. Unfortunately, like all great stories, […]
Eighteen men sit around a changing room. They are in unfamiliar lands, yet in all too familiar territory. Forty minutes have passed and even now, the wear of battle has begun to take its toll. At the general’s command, eighteen men stand to attention, bearing crimson wounds to match crimson jerseys. Could everything be put […]
The Hammers headed down to London Cornish in the freezing cold with the expectation to come away with 5 points straightforward points, however, this became a trickier task due to Storm Arwin. With Hammersmith losing the toss and being forced to play the first half uphill into the strong wind, they knew that they were […]
Saturday 4th December. The skies were clear, the temperature was brisk and Hammers boys were frantically brushing their teeth to mask the smell of their work Christmas party from the night before. At the meet, the atmosphere was relaxed. Maybe a little too relaxed as no one had been assigned to pick up the kit. […]
