DURHAM PALATINATES
COUNTIES 2 DURHAM & NORTHUMBERLAND
The 2024/25 season brings about the second season of competitive Saturday rugby for our Palatinates. After a dominant league title win last year, we begin this season with hopes of being competitive at the top end of the Counties 2 Durham & Northumberland division.
​
Competing in the local men's leagues provides a different and exciting challenge to our players, but coaches Paul Brookes, Jeff Lamb and Sean Wiles, have a wealth of experience that steers the team in the right direction.
​
So far this season, the Palatinates are unbeaten in the first 7 games and are optimistic for successful season.
