2 months ago | londonnewsonline.co.uk | Graham Cox

BY GRAHAM COXFour first-half tries laid the platform for Blackheath’s biggest win of the season to date, as they put Esher to the sword 64-22 at Molesey Road.

BY GRAHAM COXIt’s a strange sight in this day and age to see a side run on to the field wearing the baggier style of jersey that would have graced rugby pitches 30 or more years ago. Newport are going for the retro look to mark their 150th anniversary, this match being one of a sequence in honour of this landmark, it being the oldest Anglo-Welsh fixture, first played in 1879.
