Rugby at the DMCC carries a legacy of fierce competition and friendship, tracing its roots to the colonial era when British planters brought their love for the sport to the highlands. Introduced in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, rugby quickly became a staple of expatriate life, with planters and military officers forming teams and engaging in spirited matches on makeshift fields carved out of the rugged landscape. The sport was more than just a pastime—it was a symbol of discipline, endurance, and unity, reflecting the values of those who played it. As the years passed, rugby found a stronghold among the local communities, who embraced the game with passion and commitment. The sport evolved, blending traditional British rugby culture with local flair, resulting in a dynamic playing style that continues to captivate audiences today. 

Today, that same passion thrives through our high-energy matches and tournaments, bringing together players from diverse backgrounds. Whether you’re a seasoned athlete or stepping onto the field for the first time, rugby at DMCC remains a unifying force, fostering teamwork, resilience, and the unbreakable bonds that make the sport so special. Our games honor the legacy of those who came before us while embracing the ever-growing spirit of the sport in the modern era.
