As the season unfolds, DRFC reminds everyone players, coaches, officials, volunteers, and supporters that Respect is the cornerstone of rugby.

From grassroots to elite level, respect must be shown to teammates, opponents, referees, and all who make the game possible. It’s our shared responsibility to foster a safe, inclusive, and welcoming environment.

Let’s lead by example, not just in how we play, but in how we treat one another. Match officials and volunteers deserve our full support. Their contribution is vital, and their dignity non-negotiable.

We ask all players, parents, and spectators to keep criticism of officiating to themselves. Abuse of any kind will not be tolerated.

Together, let’s uphold the values that make rugby great.
