Penicuik Rugby Club is a rugby football club in the Scottish Rugby Union, playing their home games at Public Park, Penicuik, Midlothian. Season 2015–16 saw the club become league champions of East Regional League Division Two, under the coaching duo of Mark Blair and Malcolm Clapperton. In season 2015-16 the Second XV under the coaching guidance of Richard Mann also gained promotion, to East Reserve league 2 having been runners up to Currie RFC on points.
The club senior training nights are on a Tuesday and Thursday with a 7.00pm start time. Sessions go on until 9.00pm. The coaching team of Blair, Mann, Hanlon and Brown will always make new players very welcome to the club.
The club runs popular midi, junior and mini sections and welcomes new players of any ability. The ethos of the club is "Inclusion".
Several players who first started their rugby careers at Penicuik have gone on to achieve international honours at age-grade or full senior level. Most notable amongst those is Jim Aitken, who captained the Scotland team to a Grand Slam victory in the 1984 Five Nations tournament. More recently Sarah Law represented Scotland Women both at Sevens and Fifteens and her younger sister, Rachel Law gained an under-20 cap in a game against Belgium Women.[1]
