DMP Update 2025/26

One Club, One Pathway, One Mowden Family

We are pleased to share with you that we are returning to a one club model which will see a clear pathway from Mowden Minis to Mowden 1st XV.

DMP Elizabethans will no longer be stand alone and play rugby in Level 8, they will become DMP 2nd XV and join the CANDY League alongside DMP 3rd XV who will join CANDY League 3 South.

At the time, the decision to create DMP Elizabethans was the right decision for the club but as the time has gone on and more so with the future of the club in mind, we feel it is right to bring everyone together under the same club giving everyone a clear vision for the future.

We look forward to DMP being back as one again with everyone under one roof, one club with one clear pathway. With the 1st XV squad going through a rebuild period, it is imperative that we have the structure below to support this for years to come.

For the 2025/26 season we have retained club stalwarts, alongside some great boys who gave their all in difficult circumstances last season, and with a raft on new signings, we are well positioned to compete on all fronts for the upcoming season.

The Minis, Juniors and Ladies sections are the foundation of the club and continue to thrive with teams throughout from the U7's all the up to Colts and it is a measure of their success that we must put the pathway back in place for them to progress within the club.

Our last plea is to our fantastic supporters, once again, we look forward to you getting behind the club and enjoying rugby at the arena! New, old, lost and returning, we want you to all play a huge part in the club moving forward. Our membership packages will be out in the near future together with season tickets and hospitality packages.

We look forward to seeing many of you at our great lineup of off-season events. Roland's Ride, Eggchaser 7s and of course the two huge concerts in August - Razorlight and 80's Calling
