History
The club began in 1946. It was founded after the Second War by Hawick apprentices; based on a Combined Trades team that came together during the Second World War.[1]
Association with Glynneath
From 1956, Hawick Trades have had a close association with the Welsh club Glynneath RFC. Since that date the clubs have played each other, one year at home; the next away.[2]
Disbanding of the club
At the start of the 2004-05 season the Border League announced that Hawick Trades would be withdrawn from the league as their lack of players meant that their fixtures would be unfulfilled.[3]
Since the club's demise, Hawick Trades now acts as a social club for former players.[4]
