Mowden travel to Well Hall in Round 5 (3pm Kick Off).

Darlington Mowden Park make the trip to Blackheath on Saturday as they go in search of their first win of the league campaign.

Saturday's hosts currently sit in 7th place in the National One table, with 2 wins and 2 defeats in September. Blackheath opened the season with a home defeat against Richmond, before back to back wins against Bishop's Stortford and Rosslyn Park. Last weekend saw them fall to a 35-13 loss at Birmingham Moseley in Round 4.

Mowden have endured a tough start to the season, and will be hoping to kickstart their season with a win this weekend. Garry Law's side were beaten at home by Rosslyn Park last time out, but were in the game until shortly after half time when a strong second half showing saw the visitors pull clear.

Well Hall has not been a happy hunting ground for DMP in recent seasons, but Mowden supporters will take heart from their away form last season which saw them claim impressive away wins at Richmond, Plymouth at Sale FC.

Address for Travelling Supporters: Blackheath Rugby Club, Kidbrook Lane, Eltham, London, SE9 6TE
