Another solid league season in the books for the Staff, with a 5th place finish in Division 3 of the College Football pyramid. We had a shot at promotion until the final match of the year, but South B called in all their ringers from their Prem side to swindle their way to victory on the final day.

The 2025/26 campaign isn't quite over though! The Staff won their opening round match-up against Grey B 4-3 this weekend to progress to the second round of the Summer Cup 🏆 That means at least one more match in May and a chance to knock out another higher division side.

Training is still on at 7pm every Wednesday all spring and summer, let us know if you'd like to come down! Open to Durham University staff (academic or PS), postdocs, PhDs, and their partners.

Great way to start off the 25/26 season with a 4-0 win over Van Mildert D this weekend!

Big congrats to the honourees at our end of season award ceremony this past weekend!

Jack W takes home another Golden Boot and the Captains' Player of the Season award, while Guy was voted Players' Player of the Season and split the Silver Boot with Jack M.

Defensive midfielder Bruce only scored once this year (0.11g p/90), but he made it count, taking home the Goal of the Season trophy for his long-distance strike in our 3-2 win over Collingwood I.

What a match to end our 24/25 League season!

A 4-3 victory over University College B's saw players from both sides sent off, with Staff scoring the winner at 75' while down a man.

It was enough to send us temporarily into the promotion places, but a ringer-fueled charge up the table from Van Mildert D has ensured we'll be in Div 3 again next season.

Well done, lads! 🙌
