5TH XV
NORTHERN TIER 2
Our 5th XV has been hugely successful, demonstrating the immense depth and talent we have in our programme at DURFC. Last year we were ranked as the best 5th XV in the country, having maintained our place in the league following promotion the previous year.
​
We compete in this division against 5 very strong sides, including Newcastle 3rd and 4th XVs. It is a huge achievement that our 5th XV can compete at such a high level.
New coach Gareth Essex leads the side alongside Mick Stables.
