Cowal RFC is a rugby union side based in Dunoon, Scotland.[1] The club was founded in 1976.[2] They play their home games at Dunoon Stadium.[3]

History

[edit]

The club runs a men's XV, a women's XV and junior sections.[4]

It runs a rugby festival to introduce the local primary schools to rugby.[5]

The Cowal Junior side played its first competitive match at Scotstoun Stadium on 8 March 2019. They played against Moffat RFC in a half time match during the Women's Six Nations Championship Scotland v Wales match.[6]

The local Rugby Development Officer works with the four main schools in Cowal RFC's catchment area and this has helped boost the junior numbers coming to the club.[7]
