Ranelagh Mob Match 3 December 2023

Ranelagh were our guests for the 103rd Mob Match which was run from our new HQ in Norman Park. It was a damp day but warmer than yesterday. We had a much better turn-out this year; Ranelagh 22, B&B 23. The match was scored 19 a-side. We came a very close second!

Annual Mob Match against Ranelagh Harriers

Although the first inter-club race with Ranelagh Harriers was in 1886, but it was not until 1907 that a match was run on an "all to score" or "mob match" basis. The fixture on the 12th January 1907 was from our headquarters in West Wickham. Ranelagh started with 17 runners and Blackheath 30. The scoring was 17 a side. Two years later it was agreed that the number to score would be that of the club with the smaller numerical strength, less three. This became established as the standard scoring method for all mob matches world wide.

In 1922 a trophy was presented by E. H. Pelling of Ranelagh and E. J. Ratcliff of Blackheath to be held by the winning club each year and to be known as the Pelling-Ratcliff Cup.
