Hammers get the W in an absolute thriller!

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 […]

Hammers 3s show heart but not consistency

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 […]

Floodgates open for the Hammers!

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 […]

Bastard 2s struggle to cross the white line

The day was one intended for progress. Coming off a narrow loss two weeks prior, the Hammersmith & Fulham II XV  (aka The Bastards) 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, […]

Hammers set piece sets up classic win!

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 […]

Bastard 2s narrowly beaten in a thriller!

Hammersmith and Fulham 2nd XV (otherwise known as the Bastard 2s) headed to Worthing looking for another big W on the road. Two weeks before the mighty Bastards 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 […]

Hammers suffer against resurgent Camberley

Heart. It was on display in abundance for the 1st XV’s game against Camberley, a tough match against a tough opposition employing a game plan that played to their strengths, helped in no small part by Mother Nature dumping rain on the boys as they left the changing room. Thickening up the already-heavy pitch, Camberley’s […]

Hammers 1s set phasers to “kill”

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 […]

Bastard 2s go down to a strong Wimbledon side

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 […]
