Some years ago, this was a hotly contested derby game against local rivals from "across the water". Over the course of about 5 seasons there had never been more that 10 points difference in a game. In 10/11 Season, a 10 all draw at Blackheath looked set to have Blackheath promoted on points difference with only 2 games left in the season. Ts went on to score over 200 points in those last games and were promoted to Championship 1 South. The last time Ts played Blackheath it was in the Intermediate Cup in February 2016 when Ts came out 7-47 winners at the Rectory Field. Rumor has it that Blackheath have collected a few dissafected Aylesford players to strengthen their squad, so we look forward to another hotly contested game.
