Dalziel Rugby Football Club, formerly known as Dalziel High School Former Pupils Rugby Club, currently has a playing and social membership hailing from Motherwell, Wishaw, Bellshill and other parts of Lanarkshire, Scotland. Historically the club was closely associated with Dalziel High School in Motherwell from which it takes it's name. A number of current players are former pupils of Dalziel High School. However, during the 1990s it was felt that the club should drop the "former pupil" tag and be known, in what was felt to be a more inclusive manner, as Dalziel RFC[1].
The club play in Scottish National League Division 1 and have their home playing grounds at Dalziel Park close to Carfin, just outside Motherwell. They support 3 senior XVs, Development XV, Under 18s, Under 16s, Under 15s, S2s and S1s, as well as a large mini rugby section for players of Primary School age[1].
