| Dorking U18s : Last Game Squad Photo13th May, 2013 |
.jpg) |
The U18s bowed out of youth rugby with a convincing 40-7 win over a very determined Old Reigatians away at Park Lane.
This was the first time since lifting the National U17 Shield at Worcester over a year ago that the bulk of that side had been on the same field together. But Dorking, who have seen most of their players make the transition to senior rugby this season, played well from... Read More |

With only 9 players, on ... Read More |

Very well done to the A XV who represented the club in last night's Surrey Cup Final, played at Esher against a full strength London Irish first Team.

| Club Engraved Bricks9th April, 2013 |
 |
Many members have asked why the engraved bricks have not yet been put up and when and where are they going.
The reason for the delay in laying the bricks is very simple – the Board did not wish to rush in at the start of the season and then regret a hasty decision. We can easily change the location of photos if we have got them wrong, but once the bricks are up, ... Read More |

It is with deep regret that we report the death of John Roberts last weekend following a long illness.
John’s involvement with the club started in the late 1980s when his younger son, Nicholas, joined the Minis as an under 7 and he followed Nick’s progress all the way through the age groups to under 18. Like many parents in that position, he made the mistake of being seen on the... Read More |
