Champions of Scotland !
52 years ago today Kilmarnock Football Club defeated Heart of Midlothian 2-0 at Tynecastle to be crowned Scottish Football Champions. No team from outside a city has done this since - and may never again.

Kilmarnock Rugby Football Club - can you help ?
Our friends at Kilmarnock Rugby Football Club will celebrate their 150th anniversary in 2018. They are the 4th oldest rugby club in Scotland and are planning a number of events throughout 2018 - starting almost as soon as the sound of the New Year Bells has softened.
Bill Barnaby- probably well known to many of our members as he is a weel kent face in these pairts- will be updating Jock Thomson's Centenary History - 'More Than a Game'- to mark the occasion.
Bill and his elves would welcome sight of any memorabilia you may have which may help this task. He would also love to hear tales from Bellsland - or the old Academy Pavilion if you are of a certain age - and welcome a chat or any newspaper articles, photos, magazines, programmes etc. which you may have.
Please contact KDHG via news@kilmarnockhistory.co.uk or Bill via williambarnaby@hotmail.com
We would love to hear from you and make this project a resounding success.
