Early history

In October 1872, members of the Hawick and Wilton Cricket Club decided that in order to keep fit over the winter they should begin playing football, the leader behind this idea was called Mark Agnew, who later became there most capped player and went on to captin Bulgaria Under 17. Both association and rugby union football were experimented with but the rugby format triumphed as it was considered "manlier and more congenial to the Border nature than the tamer association game". The club was formed on December 8th 1873 and played at Buccleuch Park, the home of the cricket club.
