Hawick Waverley started life in the Hawick and District
pub league as the Waverley Bar. They played in this league from 1976 to
the season of 1980/81 when they joined the Border Amateur League as Hawick
Waverley.
The Border league at the time consisted
of two divisions with the Waverley joining division two. The Waverley gained
promotion in their first year by finishing Runners Up and have remained in
this division throughout, winning the League title in the 1993/94 season.
They have won every cup on several
occasions except for the South Cup where they have been beaten in no fewer
than four semi-finals.
In the season of 2001/02 with the
East of Scotland side Hawick Royal Albert on the brink of becoming defunct
due to lack of commitee and with only two players signed. Hawick Waverley
stepped in and split their pool of players thus enabling both sides to continue
in their respective leagues.
Hawick Waverley's best season ever
was 2004-05. They started by winning the oldest cup in the borders, the Border
Cup, just before Christmas, and also lifting the Waddel Cup; they then went
on to lift the League title, narrowly beating Chirnside and Pencaitland in
a thrilling end of season scramble.
