It is with regret that we must sadly share the news of the recent passing of Steve Blackwell. Also known as Swarf or Swarfy, Steve was a popular Bexley RFC stalwart, playing in the backs, usually at outside centre, in the 1980s and 90s. Steve captained the infamous and hugely successful Bexley 5th Team in the early 80s when only one out of 25 games was lost at the very end of the season. In the changing rooms afterwards, Steve sat down, dropped his head and famously said ‘is this the end of rugby as we know it?!’.

Bexley Rugby Club members past and present send our condolences and respectful wishes to his family.
