The hosts made it three Old Bath Road wins from three with a fine 31-28 success against Birmingham Moseley, and will be looking to continue a strong start to the season.

Blackheath also have five wins from their six games to date, with the two sides splitting the fixtures last term.

With the contest also potentially captain Max Hayman’s 100th first-team appearance, a big crowd will hopefully be on show for one of the biggest games of the campaign to date.
