Teams

Duffield has a good record in the Derby Area League. Duffield ladies have won the league title more than any other club (20 times since 1926) and the men, who are the current champions, have won 12 times in all (including 5 times in the last five years). We usually have 4 ladies' teams, 5 men's and 3 mixed teams playing in the Summer league.
