As you may of heard, we're proud to announce that the DMP Elizabethans have now fully merged under the unified DMP club banner. As part of this progression, we now field official DMP 2nd and 3rd XV sides, continuing to grow and strengthen our rugby pathway.

For the 2025/26 season, the 2nd XV will be competing in CANDY League 1, marking a significant move from the previous Durham & Northumberland league setup. This shift presents a fresh challenge for our squad—but one we're embracing with open arms and real ambition.

With fixtures now confirmed, the team is gearing up for a strong pre-season and is determined to make an impact in a competitive league.

Check out the full fixture list above for all the key dates and matchups this season. Whether you're a player, supporter, or new to the club, there’s plenty to look forward to as we build towards the start of the season.
