Like all sports clubs, Lochaber RFC has a strong history of traditions, values and sportsmanship on and off the field at Banavie. Since it was formed in 1969 our players and members have formed new friends from around the world and the ethos of our club as stated by a family member of a previous President summed it up, Lochaber Rugby Club “where everyone is welcome and everyone contributes”
LADIES ANNUAL CUP GAMES: For new players arriving at our club – as well as our seasonal league fixtures we have, we have annual ‘friendly’ matches for cups that you will be expected to take part in during the season, such as
THE TWO P's CUP (Lochaber -v- Highland) – With the formation of a Snr Ladies team in 2021 a new trophy was purchased in 2025 by two former Presidents of Highland and Lochaber Rugby Club (Charlie Donaldson & Graham Findlater). The cup is named after the former Presidents wives (Pauline & Patsy) and will to be played alongside the men's Two Ronnies Cup on an annual basis in Inverness and Fort William
THE HOOKERS AND SWINGERS CUP – Is held at Spean Bridge Golf Club every summer. Its in memory of former club member and Committee Member (Davy McCook) who was tragically killed in a road accident and although never played was an active / keen supporter of our Club who also loved golf. It was agreed between our Club and Spean Bridge Golf Club that a trophy would be played in his memory on an annual basis (usually June/July) It’s a Texas Scramble for male and female competitors and players of ALL abilities are welcome - the day a 'social' one and is about fun and raising a bit of money for the Youth Sections of both clubs.
MURRAYFIELD- There is usually one or two trips to Murrayfield during the Autumn Tests – Six Nations, usually organised by the Youth Section, but if there are spare seats available you can book one. Current club members can purchase International Tickets through the club.
TOURS– go back a long way in our club, unfortunately there was a large gap from the last ‘Twerkers’ tour in London, but in 2025 our 1xv Men & Women have taken part in rugby competitions abroad. Supporters and ex-players also attend. We also find ourselves heading off to away games during the Six Nations
