A brilliant display of teamwork, determination and quality rugby from start to finish, earning a well-deserved **50–0 victory!** 💪

On Wednesday DRFC was delighted to host a session for the 27th Darlington Scout Group at Skerne Park Academy.

The evening was a great success, with all the children throwing themselves into a variety of games that brought rugby skills to life. There were smiles all round, and it was brilliant to see everyone having so much fun while trying something new.

A huge thank you to the organisers from the 27th Darlington Scout Group for inviting us along. We really enjoyed being part of the evening.

Thanks also to our fantastic coaches Jamie Markham, Andrew Gunnell, Mike Tebbs and Heidi, for delivering such a great session and for helping us support our local community.
We hope to see some of our new young friends down at the club soon!

There’s some fantastic rugby happening both at Blackwell Meadows and at school for our Mini and Juniors section with four of our U12 team representing Hummersknott School and helping them become Year 7 Tees Valley Schools Rugby Champions 2026! 🏆

An outstanding achievement. Well done to all the boys involved, both at club and school level. You’re doing everyone proud! 🤍🖤♥️

Year 7 Tees Valley Schools Rugby Champions 2026! 🏈

In the 9 School competition matches, the boys won 4 matches, scoring 10 tries with none conceded.

In the pool, beat Conyers 4-0 and a very tight game v D**e House 1-0. The semi final was a solid win over St Bedes 2-0. Final was a comprehensive 3-0 win over Egglescliffe.

Other school staff praised their politeness and quality.

Congratulations and well done boys, you did Hummersknott proud!
