Centenary Match

As we approach a momentous milestone in our club’s history, we cannot help but reflect on the incredible journey that started back in 1924. It was a year filled with passion, determination, and the birth of a legacy that continues to inspire us to this day.

The original Penicuik rugby pioneers, who took to the field for the very first league fixtures, laid the foundation for the values and spirit that define our club. Their dedication, resilience, and unwavering love for the game created a bond that has transcended generations.

The first league outing was a 17-3 defeat away to Royal High School, which marked the first points scored in competitive action by a Penicuik XV.

Several weeks later a Penicuik XV made the trip into Edinburgh to play against a Lismore B XV and came back with a 37-0 Victory.

Now, as we celebrate the centenary of Penicuik Rugby, we have the opportunity to pay homage to those who came before us.

On the 6th of April 2024, a Penicuik select team will once again face Lismore, recreating that historic match and honoring the roots from which our club grew.

This special centenary match is not just a game. It’s a celebration of the indomitable spirit of our founding members, a reminder of the challenges they overcame, and a testament to the lasting impact they had on our club and community.

We invite all of members who have served the club as an Office bearer to join us on this historic occasion. Let us come together as a united force, with pride in our hearts and a deep appreciation for the legacy we have inherited.

This is a moment to honor our past, celebrate our present, and inspire the future of Penicuik Rugby.

Mark your calendars, rally your fellow club members, and prepare to witness history in the making. Together, let’s create a day filled with memories, camaraderie, and the unbreakable bond that can only be forged through the love of the game, if you previously served on a Penicuik Rugby Committee and wish to attend please complete the form in this link, and please send to other members who served on the committee with you as we have limited contact details https://penicuikrugby.org/centenary-office-bearer-lunch/
