As presented at the last get together at the club, we have officially formed the Durban Collegians Supporters Trust

This is a unique way that we can give back to our club and helping them to stay abreast of the financial burdens.

Every pledge helps no matter the value. We already have three Corporate Pledges.

Our first Supporters club get together and Draw will be on the 28th of March 2012

Remember there is a cash attendance prize or R1000 as well as the big quarterly draw for R5000

The Durban Collegians Pledge Form can be downloaded from HERE!

Our good friend and fellow Collegian, Ian Cole (Farmer), passed away recently.

Those who will recall Farmer will remember him as an outstanding player, true Collegian and all-round nice guy.

Ian was a dedicated supporter of Collegians, carring all the costs to play for Collegians himself.

Acer Durban Collegians are deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Owen Clarkson who played for Collegians in the early 50’s before being chosen to represent Natal in 1952. The son of the legendary Springbok centre Wally Clarkson was educated at Kearsney College and was always on hand at the Collegians rugby dinners to hand out the Wally Clarkson Award a trophy named after his father. Clarkson senior a product of Maritzburg College who was heavily involved in the now famous annual Old Crocks game against the Kearsney First XV in the early years was reported to have been so impressed with the school that he decided to send Owen there rather than to his old school in Pietermaritzburg. The President and members of the KZNRU, Acer Durban Collegians, and all the clubs concerned send condolences to the Clarkson family on their sad loss.

Francois Steyn has a reputation as having the biggest boot in world rugby and he lived up to that billing with an extraordinary drop goal in Friday's Top 14 play-off match between Racing Metro and Clermont.

With his side 14-12 ahead and aiming for a place in the semi-finals of France's domestic championship, the South African World Cup winner unleashed a drop goal from fully 60 metres away.
Not only did it clear the posts, it would have been good from another 20 metres.
Sadly for Steyn, who earns an estimated €750,000 per season with the Paris-based club, his team eventually lost the match 21-17.

During a Super 14 match against the Brumbies with his former South African franchise, The Sharks, Steyn kicked the ball almost 100m and in the Springboks' final match of the 2009 Tri Nations against New Zealand, he converted three penalties from within his own half.
