Only 2 hours before beers were being drunk and a very out of tune rendition of Gerry Cinnamon’s ‘Belter’ poured out of changing room 6, there was a huge task ahead of the men in red at Fortress Hurlingham. On a slightly warmer Saturday, 2 weeks after a 1-point loss to Old Priorians, Hammers were […]
Two clubs, both alike in league, In fair West London, where we play our scene, From an ancient Hammers home win break to new mutiny, Where OPs big hits made quick Hammers hands unclean. From forth the line speed of these two foes A pair of star-cross’d centres take their tries; Those misadventured lineout overthrows […]
The date is 14th January and the mighty 4’s took a trip west to face a fierce (and ageing?) Wasps side who had a lot more to offer than anticipated. Hopes in the team were high following on from last weekends win over a strong Belsize Park team. We were lucky to find out that […]
It was another wonderfully cold and windy day for rugby when the Hammers made their way across London to face Hackney. It had been a tight victory to the Hammers when Hackney visited Hurlingham so we knew we were in for a tough battle. That was true straight from the off. Hard carries and hits […]
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 […]
On a glorious Sunday that can only be described to be in direct contrast with the tsunami of last week, Hammers arrived in oxford to take on the 4th in the league. The main shock of the day: they play on 4G (and we all know how we love 4G 😂). Oxford were a very […]
