1. Title: A Jubilee Year Throw-In: Blackheath RFC vs. Rosslyn Park RFC (circa 1908) 2. Description: This evocative photograph captures a pivotal moment during the first match of Blackheath Rugby Football Club's Jubilee year, as they faced off against Rosslyn Park RFC, a distinguished north London team. The image, taken around 1908, showcases the raw energy and passion that defined rugby during this era. The teams, dressed in their respective colors, embody the spirit of competition that has endured for over a century. Blackheath, known as the "Heathens," can be identified by their dark jerseys, while Rosslyn Park's light and dark stripes stand out against the lush green field. The players, focused and determined, prepare for the throw-in, marking the beginning of another intense encounter between these storied rugby clubs. The ground, teeming with spectators, is a testament to the popularity and appeal of rugby during this time. The atmosphere is electric, as the anticipation builds for the kick-off. The throw-in man, positioned at the center of the action, prepares to launch the ball into the fray, igniting the passion and excitement of both teams and their supporters. Despite the passage of over one hundred years, the rivalry between Blackheath and Rosslyn Park remains a cherished part of rugby history. This photograph serves as a reminder of the rich heritage and enduring legacy of these two esteemed clubs and the sport they represent. 3.
