Rugby Holiday Camp Success

Thanks to all who attended and supported the holiday camps over the last few days. Lots of fun had by all in very rugby-like conditions! Please comment below should you wish any further information on joining one of our minis or junior squads.

Under 12's

U12's Mosborough v Dronfield

Another very frustrating morning for the lads, with an 'up-and-down' performance. The highlight reel is excellent from today; wonderful phases, 2-on-1s executed well, lovely tip ons and organised phase play and classy tries as a result.

Under 10's

U10's Rotherham v Dronfield

As the under 10’s turned up to Rotherham 12 washing machines took a collective sigh of relief as the conditions were excellent and the pitch in great condition! Dronfield made a superb start with some excellent defending backed up by the team making the most of the good conditions showing off their attacking skills.

Under 13's

U13's Dinnington v Dronfield

A visit to Dinnington for our U13’s this morning. Usually a challenging physical task and today was no different, especially as the boys are at an age of physically developing at different speeds. Dinnington have a large squad and plenty of big athletic lads as well as some serious weight in their pack.

Under 12's

U12's Dronfield v Rotherham Phoenix

A very disappointing morning for the lads, as they battled extremely hard against a very physically dominant Phoenix outfit. We certainly played some outstanding rugby, but struggled to contain some enormous runners from free taps.

Under 12's

U12's Dronfield v Belper

With the waterlogged pitches over at Belper, we were lucky to play today as Belper were willing to travel. The only minis / junior game to take place. Dronfield had prepped well during the week and started with a bang.

Vets

Vets Dinnington v Dronfield

Dronfield vets/ 3rds travelled with a much-changed side with several players making their senior debut for Dronfield. Dinnington were first to score and proved they were more organised, than Dronfield makeshift back line. Dinnington, were dominant for the first 20 minutes and scored 4 tries and converted 3.

Under 12's

U12's Dronfield v Chesterfield Panthers

After a few difficult games, Dronfield picked up a win on the road today to boost confidence going into the final stage of the season. We'd lacked energy and competitiveness across the squad over the last few weeks; the target today was to win the small battles, in particular staying alert to 50:50 opportunities and winning the race to the ruck.

Under 13's

U13's Chesterfield v Dronfield

A late venue change saw our U13’s away to local rivals Chesterfield Panthers for a late kick off this morning. Our hosts were certainly well warmed up and fired up to revenge our NLD cup victory against them earlier in the season.

Under 12's Girls

U12's Girls Dronfield v Sheffield Tigers

A great Mother’s Day game for our Dronfield Rugby Mini and Junior girls…with Sheffield Tigers RUFC girls. Rainy, muddy and cold…but no place these girls or Mums would rather be! #upthedron #girlsplayrugbytoo #proud

1st XV

Dronfield vs Old Crossleyans

A very wet pitch and windy weather set the scene for a scrappy game between Dronfield and Old Crossleyans, with the visitors needing a win to boost their chances of survival. Dronfield made a couple of changes to their starting XV with Luke Isham and Josh Addison promoted following their showings from the bench the previous week.
