Hawick Trades: for the record
Since 1946 Hawick Trades RFC have
won innumerable titles and have unfailingly been in the forefront of
Scottish Junior Rugby.
This site has a comprehensive photo
record of the club and many personal reminiscences. The
photo archive of the history section is indexed by decade, and at the centre of our
site is a brilliant essay on the club by Jock Imrie.
Add in records of the
club's officials over the years, and much
more, and you have Hawick Trades - the definitive version.

Tours in the UK and
overseas
 The
Trades were the first Hawick club - junior or otherwise - to
undertake an overseas tour, when in 1975 a party of 18 players and
12 officials / supporters travelled to Italy to take part in a
tournament.A report from
this tour, and from others besides, in all of which the
team upheld its reputation on and off the pitch.

Teams over the years
 The
earliest photo we have is from 1939-40, and there are many more
where that came from.
We have a large selection of Trades personalities through the last
60 years in the photo archives section. |
The Glynneath Connection
 The
site would not be complete without a section on our long
association with the Welsh club Glynneath, against whom we have
have been playing challenge matches for 50 years now.
So much good rugby, and so many
friendships made. The Welsh fixture has always been the
highlight of our season, so please read more about our unique
Glynneath Connection
