Blackheath………….40
Canterbury………….. 12
Blackheath recorded a resounding win to extend their winning home record to eight matches and increase their lead at the top of National League Two East to nine points.
The Club were on top from the outset as Alex Brown and Jake Lloyd combined out wide on the right for the former to score with less than a minute played.
Stevie Clark-Leonard peeled off a drive from a lineout to crash across, and the lead was further extended as Tom Stradwick came away with the ball from a Canterbury throw, before Tom Ffitch dummied and stretched for a third try.
Archie Holland burrowed across for the four-try bonus, and with Ffitch striking four excellent conversions, Blackheath led 28-0 at the break.
Canterbury had spent their fair share of time Star m Joe Duf in the Club 22 during the opening period, but that changed with the elements in their favour and Jamie Stephens to scrambled over.
Blackheath’s setpiece, with skipper Ed Taylor at the helm, held an edge with Holland touching down for his second try, but in a much more even second period, Billy Young drove across for the visitors.
However, Chris Bell outsprinted the cover to race home from 25m out for the home side.
