Durham City Dragon's - Women’s Rugby

How is it already dark at 8 o’clock? Where has summer gone?! 🍁🍃 Another week of preseason ✅

Wednesdays are for rugby 🏉 but so are Thursdays so why not join us tomorrow 6:30-8 pm? All new and returning players always welcome! 💥

Training in the drizzle can only mean the season is coming 🌧️🍃🏉 we can’t wait!

Well that was a workout 🥵 really making the most of the last days of summer!

Look what we found in the club house 👀 the original DCRFC Ladies! 🔵🟡 We’re loving the old school style, those shirts are🔥 We just wish we could have seen them in action on the pitch! 🙏🏼

LOCKED IN 🔒 We are excited to announce the Dragons’ new co-captains for 2026-27, Steph Maddison and Ellie Thirkell!

Steph and Ellie always have a huge impact on the team on and off the pitch and we are thrilled to be going into the new season under their leadership 🧨💥🔥

Special shout out to Steph who started playing rugby at City as a mini and was a part of the original Ladies team - we are chuffed that she came back as a Dragon 💙💛

After 4 seasons at the helm, Rachael has decided to step down from her role as team captain 🐲 Rachel has led us since the beginning of our contact journey with passion, grit and determination, smashing it on and off the pitch 🔥 We are so grateful for every single thing she’s done for the Dragons over the years, we wouldn’t be where we are without her! 💙💛

Preseason is flying by but what a good session to end the week 🔥

Another Wednesday, more preseason graft! 🔋 We’re back on the pitch tomorrow 6:30-8 pm, DM for more info!
