The following year, 1934, it repeated its success, this time beating fellow Hanover club FV 1897 Linden 8-3.

[1] It made one more finals appearance in 1965, this time in the German rugby union cup, where it lost to TSV Victoria Linden.

VfR started advertising this match as a pan-German championship but had to paste over the words DDR-Meister by order of the DRV.

It formed a partnership with FC Schwalbe Hannover for some time in the late 1990s and the two clubs fielded a combined team.

VfR fielded its own, independent side again, now in the 2nd Rugby-Bundesliga North/East, where it lasted until 2005 before being relegated to the tier-three Rugby-Regionalliga Lower Saxony, where it earned promotion from in 2007.

The efforts in these area were more successful and led to two consecutive national junior championship titles in the under 10 age group in 2008 and 2009.

[citation needed] The SG SV Odin/VfR Döhren was withdrawn from the 2nd Bundesliga in 2011 and instead entered the tier-three Regionalliga North for the following season.

n the 2014–15 season the club finished third in the north-east Liga-Pokal group and was knocked out by Neckarsulmer SU in the quarter-finals of the play-offs.
