Dunbar RFC
Club News
British Lions and Scotland
Dunbar for being a small club have actually provided players who have represented Scotland and the British Lions
As club members do you know who they are and if so please comment on this subject. I will then add history for players who have either played for either team. This is just me trying to develop the club into communicating with each other to increase peoples knowledge of club matters. The club forum is there for all to post comments and if we are to develop then we need to start using this facility. I feel it is important for younger players to know what has happened since the club was formed in 1923. Looking forward it is not really that far into the future before the club will bhe 100 years old. Please look at items I have added to club history.
I will be holding a 2010-2011 season review shortly where photos and video will be shown from the season past along with other club info.

Derek White played for both Scotland and the British Lions.
Graeme Budge played for Dunbar, went on to play for Scotland and the British Lions. I'm also sure Douglas Elliot played for Dunbar and went onto play for Scotland and the British Lions. There was also someone called Aitken that played for Dunbar and also Scotland but can't remember his first name.
Ritchie Aitken played for Dunbar, London Scottish, United Services and Scotland. His only cap was against Wales in 1947 and the cap sits proudly in cabinet at Hallhill. He served in the Royal Navy and was a Lieutenant Commander. Grahame Budge did indeed play for Scotland and the British Lions. He was dropped from Dunbar first xv due to the fact he kept getting penalised for barging at the line out. The next season he played for Edinburgh Wanderers and was capped by Scotland and toured with the Lions playing in one test match. Seems a bit normal for Dunbar . WID (Douglas ) Elliot played occasionally for Dunbar as a flanker and was capped 29 times for Scotland between 1947-1954. He was asked to tour with The Lions but could not afford to spend 6 months away from his farm. The Lions went by boat in those days hence the time factor.
W.R.Logan ( Ross) played for Scotland from 1931-1937 and played scrum half. Two years after retiring he played for Dunbar for two years. He also played for Edinburgh Univ and Edinburgh Wanderers.He also played cricket for Scotland. Captained Scotland against Wales in 1937 when we won 13-6 at Swansea.
