History
There was previously rugby at Crieff. At the end of the 19th century there was a club known as St. Michael's Guild Rugby Club from around 1889 which then became Crieff rugby club.[1]
This side went defunct but there was another attempt to create a Crieff rugby club, based around ex-players of the Crieff Academy around 1896.[1]
From the 1920s there was another Crieff club based on ex-Morrisons Academy players. Known as the Morrisonian club or Morrison Academy F.P., the club played to at least the mid-1930s and it seems likely it did not survive the Second World War.[2]
The present club was founded in 1972, and the club celebrated its 40th anniversary in 2012.[3]
Sides
The club runs a men's and women's side and a minis side (Primary 1–7).[4]
The men train on Friday nights from 7.30pm, the women on Wednesday nights from 7.30pm, the minis train on Sunday morning from 11am.[4]
Sevens tournament
The club runs the Crieff Sevens. The teams compete for the Robin McNeil Cup.[5]
