On a clear Saturday the Hammers 3s looked to make it two from two in the league. The side looked strong in team runs and there was an excited optimism as the team took the field. This translated into a quick start as hammers kicked deep and then fullback Jake Cheetham ran the return kick […]
It was a truly glorious day for rugby with the sun shining down and all the forwards wishing it wasn’t quite so warm. With the 1s focus on our new structure of play we faced up against S&E for what we knew would be an intense game. Sutton scored the early points with their 10 […]
Ok, I’m going to start this with a bit of a confession. I have a memory like a sieve. Like remembering stuff for me is tough. Not like medical evaluation tough but let’s just say scat testing for me is always an interesting proposition. So with that being said, if I don’t mention too many […]
Two-weeks on since I last saw Hammersmith & Fulham Men’s 1st XV score 87 points, the time had arrived, a local derby, one that had not been seen for some time, the battle of the parks, Hurlingham vs Regents, Hammers vs Belsize, who would come out on top? As my brothers and I were wrapped […]
With Hampstead calling off the week before, Hammers 4s were made to wait another week to sink their teeth into the 22-23 season proper. After a top-2 finish and play-off final appearance last season, hopes were high that this year would be another full of success, wins, and beer. Unfortunately only one of these would […]
A sunny day set the scene for what the Hammersmith expected to be a challenging day, and the first game away from home this season. Cobham started the game fast, as Hammersmith tried to wash off a warmup which had lacked execution. Cobham prevented multiple attempts from Hammersmith to leave their half. Then they were […]
The first game of the season in the Cup was always going to be a tasty affair, with neither of the sides wanting to start their campaigns off with a loss. The game was to take place at Regent’s park and after the boys were pushed through a much needed warm up overseen by Rogan, […]
In the run up to the Beaconsfield fixture everyone was aware a bullseye has painted on our chest’s, following the dismantling of Windsor. Our scalps were the prized possessions of the league, after our standout victory, and up stepped Beaconsfield to chance their hand. So, my question is … What do films such as ‘Moneyball’, […]
Hammersmith & Fulham vs Windsor – 03.09.2022 After 133 purposeless days, 18 Saturdays of pretending to have fun watching live music/playing golf/bottomless brunching etc. and 2 months of getting to know a certain red tree intimately well, Jackson’s Journeymen finally returned to the hallowed turf of SW6’s premier public park, raising the curtain on the […]
The morning of Saturday 23rd April. 232 days of London 1 rugby; 70km of “swings and back!”; 100 Litres of Lambrini. One final bus trip. One final 80 minutes before the curtain falls… A packed clubhouse, and glorious sunshine reflecting off a sea of pink Camberley blazers, provides our backdrop. After 20 minutes the home […]
