History
The club has a large focus on attracting youth members with currently 250 junior players registered at the club.[4] Glasgow Warriors players have help train Birkmyre RFC juniors in the past.[5]
The club received the SRU's prestigious Team of the Month award in 2010; and the club president received it at Murrayfield in front of a sell-out crowd there to watch Scotland play South Africa. Birkmyre was only the second Western region club to receive that honour in its existence. The club received the award for a number of points:- its excellent disciplinary record; installing floodlights; new gym and training facilities; community work; sponsorship of local events; midi and mini sections; and its development of youth teams.[6]
Work has been undertaken to increase the drainage at the rugby pitches at Birkmyre Park.[7][8] This has cost £400,000.[9]
