There are 3 inevitabilities in life: Death, Taxes and Will Bretnall putting his card behind the bar at the Christmas Lunch. However, before we get onto Sunday, let’s talk about Saturday the 2nd December…. The Hammers rolled in after a week off after a sobering loss against OA’S, facing a must-win stretch between now and […]
The day was one intended for progress. Coming off a narrow loss two weeks prior, the Hammersmith & Fulham II XV were keen to build on their foundations against a Normans side who lay firmly at the bottom of the table. As we rocked up to the fortress of Richmond Athletics Ground, we assembled in […]
The day began with a somber and reflective mood, most certainly due to this match being played on remembrance weekend which was respected by both sides and supporters with a minute’s silence prior to kick off. What ensued afterwards was a real back-and-forth of a game, an arm wrestle – as some would refer to […]
Hammersmith and Fulham 2nd XV headed to Worthing looking for another big W on the road. Two weeks before the mighty 2s had enjoyed a big win against Camberley so hopes were high for another big W on the south coast. One member of the team (Miles O’Connor) was feeling slightly worse for wear after […]

Thickening up the already-heavy pitch, Camberley’s […]
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 […]
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 […]
Our new government seems to be crumbling sooner than even the biggest cynic would have expected. Our dear leader “Free Gear Keir” may be longing for the return of the sausages, but the Hammers enjoyed their own returns this weekend, with club stalwarts Joel Caravan and Dr Steve John adorning the parallel pitch for the […]
After a heavy defeat last week the 2’s returned to Hurlingham to face Horsham alongside the 1’s in a double header. This truly was a mongrel 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 […]
