[1] A rugby team, Hillhead High School Former Pupils RFC, was formed in 1904.
The Hillhead club sought to find a permanent home after the First World War, purchasing land at Hughenden in 1922.
The club's new home, with its pavilion designed W. Hunter McNab, was officially opened on 24 May 1924.

The stand was built of reinforced concrete with a cantilevered roof, unusual for the time.
