Hawick Trades is a former rugby union club based in Hawick, in the Scottish Borders. They played in the Border League until 2004.

History[]

The club began in 1946. It was founded after the Second War by Hawick apprentices; based on a Combined Trades team that came together during the Second World War.[1]

Association with Glynneath[]

From 1956, Hawick Trades have had a close association with the Welsh club Glynneath RFC. Since that date the clubs have played each other, one year at home; the next away.[2]

Disbanding of the club[]

At the start of the 2004-05 season the Border League announced that Hawick Trades would be withdrawn from the league as their lack of players meant that their fixtures would be unfulfilled.[3]

Since the club's demise, Hawick Trades now acts as a social club for former players.[4]

Notable former players[]
