Club summary
Rugby Club Groningen brought groups of local and student players together in 1967. Its later clubhouse was designed so members could do much of the building themselves on a limited budget. Student club G.S.R.C. became a separate association in 1986.Read the club historyRecent scores

Club history
The replacement clubhouse was designed for members to build
The old Esserberg hut was small, dilapidated, insecure and equipped with primitive sanitation. With a limited budget, its replacement was designed to be inexpensive, burglary-resistant and so club members could build most of it themselves.
