Seniors
Welcome to the Dursley Rugby Club Senior Section.
Dursley Rugby senior section currently runs 3 regular senior sides, and occasional Veterans (over 35s).
Dursley 1st XV now play in Gloucester 1 and have spent a couple of seasons in the Gloucester Premier League having won promotion in 2012. This was a great achievement and represented the highest level that the club have played at since league rugby was introduced in England in the late 1980s. The aim is to get back there as soon as possible.
Dursley United (2nd XV) play in Gloucestershire Reserve League Division - Gloucester & District North 1.
Dursley Nomads (3rd XV) play regular friendly matches against other local sides.
All 3 teams also play in the Stroud Combination Cup competitions. The 1st team are reigning champions (for the last 5 seasons). Both the United side and Nomads have won in recent seasons, but were both beaten finalists in 2018.
Training takes place on Tuesday and Thursday evenings, starting at 6:45pm. Players of all standards, ages and experience are always very welcome to join the section, and at any time during the season.
The seniors pride themselves on taking their rugby seriously on the pitch and maintaining a strong social side off it. The annual senior tour is always good fun!
We also run touch rugby and walking rugby, use the left menu to find out more.
We have also benefitted in recent seasons from the success of the mini and youth rugby section of the club, with a constant supply of players making a successful transition from junior rugby at age 17+ into senior rugby. This transition is something that we work hard at, and the evidence of this is demonstrated in the fact that the 1st XV and United sides in particular are now regularly full of players who have 'come up through the ranks'. This can only bode well for the future of the club as a whole.
