  • Playing Rugby for Jordanhill College Rugby Football Club 1958
    Playing Rugby for Jordanhill College Rugby Football Club 1958 - 1966 John Henderson ‘The Boot’ Remembers Playing Rugby for Jordanhill College RFC ‘The Boot’ Remembers When I first matriculated in October 1958 at the Scottish School of Physical Education, Jordanhill, Glasgow to undergo a three year diploma course of training in order to qualify as a teacher of Physical Education, I had no idea that some years later my senior rugby career would turn out to be as creditable as it did. Although I knew then that I was a very accurate and lengthy instep place-kicker of a rugby ball, I was under no illusion that my getting a place in the Jordanhill College Rugby Football Club top squad would be easy, nor did I have any notion then that retaining a first choice spot in the 1st XV for a good number of seasons might possibly occur. However, I was aware of the fact that graduating from College was not the end of the opportunity to play senior rugby for Jordanhill, as former students as players were not only considered eligible, but were also deemed essential in order to maintain a fighting chance for coach Bill Dickinson‟s side to compete at the highest levels possible in Scotland. Thus time was on my side, if only I was patient, and prepared to work hard at the game. But first I had, during my student days, to convince mentors Bill Dickinson and George Orr of my potential, and then, if this was accomplished, to provide consistent proof thereafter of my continuing value as a full back/three-quarter and place kicker in the top side in its annual attempts to win the Scottish Unofficial Club Championship and the Glasgow District Knock-Out Trophy.

    BIGGAR RFC SPONSORS’ BROCHURE SEASON 2018/2019 ONE CLUB ONE FAMILY President’s Message It is again an honour for me to be writing this year’s sponsorship message as I am writing it as the championship winning president of Biggar rugby club. It was an incredible season of success throughout the club, the Under 16 boys going to the National final at Murrayfield but on the day were narrowly beaten by Stirling County but did win the West Regional cup. Our under 18 girls again achieved a Murrayfield final and again won for a fifth year. The senior season was capped by the First XV winning their league as champions, promoting the club to National 1, for this season 2019/2020. The season could hardly have got any better, it did, Biggar rugby football club were presented with “The Club of the Year Award at the annual SRU awards dinner at the Corn Exchange. What a special finish to a fantastic season! Our club has strengthened its position as a hub in our community for numerous sports clubs. We are delighted to remain hosts to Biggar United and Law AAC at Hartreemill for training and competition. We at Biggar RFC are lucky enough to have 17 squads of both male and female players ranging from the new Biggar Bairns (rugby for 3-5-year olds) to over 35s. Many businesses and individuals from the Biggar area and the extended community support our club with their sponsorship and advertising, without this support we could not offer our children, youth and senior playing squads and other sports clubs the facilities we enjoy.
