Lots of smiles for the women’s 2nd XV

Going into the 3rd game for Hammers 2s, the goal was clear: points on the board. NC1 has been every bit of the step up we expected after 2 consecutive seasons of promotion so after back-to-back duck eggs from our first 2 games, coming up against top of the table was always going to be […]

Hammers 3rd XV lose it in the last minute

Saturday 29th October would see Hammers III make the annual pilgrimage up to the Regents Park ‘Hub’, to play Belsize Park III, on a day that would have climate change sceptics struggling for explanations on how the weather was this hot, this late in the year. Kicking into the sun, an excellent kick off allowed […]

The Hammers survive a scare on Hammerwe’en

A villain themed Hammerwe’en, a first versus second league game, a sold-out crowd. It sounded too good to be true, it sounded like a recipe for too much fun. The top of the table clash in England’s most prolific league, Regional 2 Thames produced yet another epic encounter that would live long in the memory […]

Hammers 2nd XV put in a big performance

On an unseasonably warm day at Hurlingham Park, Hammers 2nd XV took to the field against old rivals Belsize Park. Pre-match tension was palpable, this fixture last season producing a 30-point drubbing to nil for the visitors, and a last-play epic win for hammers in the reverse. With that in mind, and the words of […]

Hammers 4s fight hard and fight well.

As luck would have it the sun was out at Hurlingham Park last Saturday, but many puddles remained on the pitch after the torrential down pours during the week. I’ll come back to one puddle in particular in due course.The atmosphere was a little subdued, not sure why. After a tentative warm-up and a bit […]

Hard work pays off for the 1st XV Hammers Women!

Whether it’s the annual Pub Golf social, post-match boat race or a game of pre-training touch, it is a truth universally acknowledged by all that “A quick game is a good game“. The referee made it clear from the off that we needed pace in everything from set pieces to open play in order to […]
