Loch Lomond Rugby Club

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Loch Lomond Rugby Club is a small Scottish rugby union club that plays in the Scottish Hydro-Electric West Division 1. (See West Regional Leagues (Rugby Union))

The club was formed in 1996 when Dumbarton and Vale of Leven Rugby Clubs merged in order to increase playing numbers and to pool finances.

The club has a clubhouse and playing / training facilities at its base in Bonhill, 25 miles west of Glasgow and runs a 1st and 2nd XV together with a junior section.

While most of Loch Lomond's short history has been spent trying to stay afloat financially, they have achieved 3 promotions (2nd place Glasgow District League Division 2 in 99/00, 2nd place Glasgow District League Division 1 in 00/01 and as champions of BT National Division 5 West (B) in 05/06) and 1 relegation (from BT National League 5 West (A) in 04/05). They also reached the last 8 of the BT Bowl in 00/01, and again in 07/08.
