A bleak and dreary day in a bleak and dreary place (Tottenham.) Coming off of positive previous performances, the Hammers 3’s were not letting the weather dampen any optimism going into their game against Haringey Rhinos. A strong team, solid warm-up and the rare sight of a full bench was a good omen for things […]
In a remarkable display of grit, determination, and clinical execution, Hammersmith & Fulham pulled off a stunning victory over Camberley, getting their first W in 5 years against a team that only months before had put 72 points on the boys. The result, achieved on a bright February afternoon at Hurlingham Park, has instantly become […]
The 2s started the game knowing the points were already secured, due to Camberley unable to field a front row. As a result the game was played as a friendly with uncontested scrums, something which received a mixed reaction from the 2s players. Especially with body shapes best described as “wintering”. Camberley kicked off with […]
After an up and down start to 2025, the Hammers welcomed fellow southwest Londoners to Wimbledon to Hurlingham Park. With the danger of Storm Eowyn potentially looming from across the Irish Sea, it was only the combination of everyone’s favourite northern Irishman McNeil and Eee-oin on the team sheet that actually looked like causing damage […]
After the 3s first game of 2025 got called off the week before due to frozen pitches, the 3s made their way down to Acton to face Wasps 2s. Wins had been few and far between for the 3s so it was important that they started the year off properly with a solid W. Strong […]
Hammersmith & Fulham men’s 1st XV kickstarted their 2025 campaign with a trip south into deepest darkest Sussex to face Horsham RFC. After recent struggles, this had been identified as a ‘must win’ game both for team morale and for Regional 1 South Central survival hopes. With Horsham sitting in 9th and Hammers one point […]
Hammersmith & Fulham, the Hammers, the men-in-red, the boys from SW6, travelled away out of the environs of London further to the south west, to face Bracknell, a road trip that was undertaken while the winds and the rains of storm Darragh ravaged much of the British mainland. Undeterred, the men in red set out […]
It was a frigid, blustery day on the pitch, and while the weather certainly played its part, the game had its moments of excitement. The Hammers started the match with an uncharacteristic lack of intensity and aggression while on defence. The Lions took advantage, working their way up the pitch and scoring two tries early […]
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 […]
