All four gentlemen have served the County for over 30 years in a multitude of important challenging roles. They have represented our County displaying professionalism, unwavering loyalty and distinction in roles with local, regional and national significance.

Do not remove Sport England as a Statutory Consultee for planning applications... Please seriously consider signing and supporting this Petition. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/7355… It is vital that Sport England are kept in the planning loop to ensure that Sports Grounds etc are not lost.

We would’ve preferred a different result but, no matter the loss, all the players came off smiling and buzzing that they wanted more!

Fast forward to Saturday 25th October 2025 at Stockton RFC where Durham U20 Ladies played Yorkshire U20 Ladies in the first ever County Women’s U20 match. Both teams did their County’s proud and many thanks to Yorkshire RFU for also wanting to push female rugby forward! !

ONE SMALL COUNTY WITH ONE BIG IDEA, LEADS THE WAY IN U20 WOMEN’S REP RUGBY! Two years ago, when Cesca Harding, Durham’s Girls Pathway Manager had the idea to try and organise a U20’s competition for the women’s game she got very little response.

Your support has made a real difference and has helped create the opportunity for the DCRFU Senior XVs to enter the 2026 Championships. We couldn't have done it without you. Cheers to all involved!

A huge thank you to everyone who took part in our recent draw for the rugby ball signed by 18 England Red Roses WRWC25 squad! With incredible names like Abbie Dow, Ellie Kildunne, Sarah Bern, Hannah Botterman, Claudia Moloney-MacDonald & so many more, it's truly a special prize.
