Durham County Girls’ Rugby

Girls’ Rugby is one of the fastest areas of development within Rugby Union. Under 16 and Under 18 girls teams are featuring in the plans of a growing number of clubs within the County – some have established sides, others are working hard to recruit and train new players; schools are increasingly becoming involved.
The North East has strong Regional Under 16 and Under 18 squads and Durham works closely with the North East Region and Northumberland to organise leagues, cup competitions and fixtures.
