Senior Men
Welcome to the Dursley Rugby Club Senior Men's Section.
Dursley Rugby senior men's section currently runs 3 regular senior sides, and an occasional Veterans (over 35s).
Dursley 1st XV now play in Counties 2 Gloucestershire South having won the league in 2022 with an unbeaten record. The aim of the club is to maintain our gradual rise up the leagues.
Dursley United (2nd XV) play in Bristol & District 1 again this season having won the league last time out. The aim is to repeat that achievement this year.
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 (2023 and for the previous 8 seasons). Both the United and Nomads sides were beaten finalists in 2018 but United roared back to win again in 2019 and then again in 2022 after the Covid gap. Last season both the United and Nomads team were successful meaning a clean sweep of the combination cups.
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. From October 2023 until March 2024 training on Tuesdays takes place on the all weather surface at Rednock School, time to be arranged.
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 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.
