Who we are…
Our senior squad trains on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 7:30 pm and typically participates in competitive fixtures on Saturday afternoons. For age group training and playing times, please refer to the menu item “Teams” and select the appropriate age group.
We are an ambitious and inclusive rugby club with the objective of providing skills development and playing opportunities for individuals from the age of two to 82. The club operates two adult XVs engaged in competitive rugby. The first XV, known as “The Reds,” competes in the Arnold Clark National League Division 4 and also participates in the National League Cup. Our second XV participates in the Arnold Clark East Region Reserve League Division 1.
The club maintains playing squads at all age grades, ranging from preschool to veteran, including a Girls section. Additionally, we are actively involved in numerous local schools, where our Rugby Development Team conducts Rugby sessions aligned with various schools. Notably, the Linlithgow Academy School of Rugby is now well established, and we have also developed spin-off schools of rugby at Armadale Academy and Queensferry High School.

Membership Fees – an explanation
As a Club we are able to partly subsidise our playing costs, through a mix of sponsorship, fundraising and social functions. Our aim is to keep our membership fees as low and as fair as possible to encourage more people to get involved in rugby and sports in general. Fees are set by members at the Annual General Meeting and, for the last few seasons, we have operated an agreed policy to cover at least 50% of our direct costs through the membership fee.
This leaves a fair amount of income to be generated from other sources and we look for members’ support in helping to fundraise. Remember that we are a charity and all monies generated will go back into the running of the Club and the furtherance of our development plans.
