2. About Us


Deeside Rugby Football Club (DRFC) is a club offering a unique rugby experience for all.

We are a family orientated community rugby club based in Banchory, Aberdeenshire with a catchment area covering the Dee and Don valleys. We were formed in 1977 as Aboyne RFC with a senior team and have grown to offer rugby to all ages (both male and female) from age 5 upwards. With the move to our new purpose built pitches in Banchory in 2011, our name was changed to reflect the wider catchment area of members.

In February 2017 we converted the members' club organisation into a Scottish Charitable Incorporated Organisation (SCIO - SC047171) as part of our organisational and funding strategy.

We currently have an Adult 1st XV team, Boys Junior age groups teams at U18, U16, U15, U14 and U13, a girls junior squad training from U13 - U18 who play as part of the Grampian Girls team, and boys and girls Minis (P4 - P7) and Micros (P1-P3) teams.
