They competed in the league until 2021 when Dundee HSFP and Morgan Academy RFC merged to create Dundee Rugby Club.[1]
History
It was originally for the former pupils of Morgan Academy, a secondary school in Dundee. It was formed in 1933.[2]
It was also known as Morgan Rugby Club or Morgan Dundee, having dropped the restriction on solely former academy pupils playing for the club.[3]
Purchase
The club was purchased by Dundee HSFP to form a new club Dundee Rugby in 2021. One of the main reasons for the purchase was to save rugby union in Dundee and then ambitiously attempt to get the new club into the professional Super 6 league.[1]
