The senior rugby presentation night was held on 3 May to celebrate the end of the 2024-2025 season for the ladies and the men’s first and second teams.

It was a night to acknowledge the achievements of its senior men and women.

It was a season of two halves for the 1st XV men, who struggled up to Christmas finding themselves in the bottom two of the table and fighting relegation. However, a good turn of form from January made all the difference ending the season on a high and they now look forward to another year in DN1!

The 2nd XV had another great season, just narrowly missing out on winning the Candy League for the second year running!

The ladies had another tough season in Championship North 1 but played some of their best rugby to date!
