We ask that all Coaches, Players, Parents and Volunteers respect and follow the RAs and guidelines in an effort to allow training to continue whilst minimising any risk of COVID. Each Team leader / Coach will be responsible for ensuring all protocols have been explained and understood prior to training.

Howe of Fife RFC (Howe Rugby) is a rugby union club based in Cupar, Fife, Scotland and is part of the Scottish Rugby Union. It was founded in 1921, and they play in blue and white hoops. The mens 1st XV currently play in national league division two.

The Howe run teams from Primary 1 level up to under-18 colts level and a Ladies (Howe Harlequins) and a girls section which includes U12, U15 and U18. Many players have gone on to represent Fife, Caledonia and Scotland at age grade level. With a handful going on to represent professional clubs. This can be down to the experience and skills gained at the Duffus Park. In 2007, current first XV Captain Chris Mason led the under-18 Howe of Fife squad to a unique treble winning both the school (as Bell Baxter High School) and the Club Scottish cups as well as the Scottish schools sevens cup. A number of the players involved in that team, now play for the senior side.
