Dorking Awards Night

Dorking Rugby club celebrated a fantastic season on Friday 1st May 2026, as we invited all shortlisted candidates to join our sponsors on a glorious evening at The Big Field.

It was an amazing opportunity to say thank you to all that have worked so hard over the 2025/2026 season, alongside expressing our thanks to our sponsors and volunteers.

The evening could not have been better as the sun was setting over Box Hill making The Big Field even more perfect for our end of season event.

Our paddock was filled with members from across our club as we celebrated Club, team and individual contributions throughout the season.
