Educational Establishments Durham City hockey club in action
“We’ve been able to extend our fixture capacity overnight so, on any one day, we can play up to five competitive rugby fixtures whereas, before, we were restricted to five a week because they had to be played on natural turf. We also train all our own staff through the RFU system, so staging College fixtures is rarely left in the hands of outsiders. We have the wherewithal to call the required amount of RFU qualified referees every weekend, which would be a tall order if we didn’t train them ourselves,” Peter explains.
Rugby isn’t the only elite level sport
benefitting from the new additions; the future of lacrosse is also bright as a result. “Women’s lacrosse has always been strong here, and our men’s team is arguably the best in the country,” Peter explains. “England men’s lacrosse train at our new facilities now, which will only serve to improve the level of the game and participation in the sport.” Every one of Durham’s seventeen colleges now has its own team and the current head coach - appointed last year through England Lacrosse - joined following a stint as Assistant Coach for the German national squad.

The strengthening links between
Durham and sport on all levels can only bode well for the future, as Peter’s team bids to attract more sporting high-flyers to strengthen the university’s prowess, whilst attracting national squads to base their centre of operations in the city. As far as Steve and the team are concerned, as the profile of the university grows, so too will their workload, and it’s likely that, in another ten years, the nature of their daily duties may again look markedly different.
