Cowal RFC is a rugby union side based in Dunoon, on the Cowal Peninsula, in Argyll and Bute, west of Scotland.[1] The club was founded in 1976.[2] They play their home games at Dunoon Stadium.[3]
History
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]
