Livingston RFC
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Livingston Rugby Football Club are a rugby union side based in Livingston, West Lothian, Scotland.
Established in 1968, as Livingston and District RFC, the team was founded through a local appeal for players by Jack Nixon, a native of Langholm, who in the 1960s was the Youth Officer of the West Lothian County Council. Among his responsibilities was to assistance in setting up clubs and organisations for the newcomers to Livingston. At the meeting, players from Bathgate RFC decided that amalgamating with the new Livingston side would allow them better opportunities for success and also give them a better chance of gaining a home ground, they had played previous games in Airdrie.
The team play their home games at Almond Park. Following relegation from the Scottish Premiership Division Three, from the 2009/10 season, Livingston play in National Division 1.
