Shawlands FP RFC is an amateur rugby union side based on the south side of Glasgow and play in Dumbreck, the home of Cartha Queens Park RFC. The club finished the 2006/07 season third in the West League Division 2 Pool 1, and gained promotion to the West League Division 1.

Season 2007/08

Following a positive pre-season and moving on from last season's campaign, the club had high hopes for the league this year. Hopes were soon dashed after the initial six matches resulted in just one victory and 4 severe losses. This situation has arisen due to injury problems higher up within the Cartha Queens Park hierarchy causing squad selection problems. The team's promotion has also meant that they are competing against much more organised and well-drilled 1st XVs which has been the main difference in their struggles.

The team's appearance in the West Region National Cup ended before it even began as they were withdrawn by the organisers for failing to complete a fixture in last year's competition.

2009/2010 - 2013

Sadly due to reduced playing numbers, Shawlands took a step away from playing league rugby with most Shawland players putting on the jersey for Cartha at 3rd XV and 4XV (3B's) level respectively. Shawlands still played the odd friendly against tour sides and 10's tournaments.

Season 2014/15

This year, Cartha will be able to field 5 senior male teams (Cartha 1st XV, 2nd XV, 3B's & Shawlands 1st XV and 2nds XV) due to the increase in numbers at the club. This has allowed Cartha 3rds' and 4ths to play as the Shawlands teams just as they were previously.

Shawlands FP XV will play this season in the Scottish Rugby Union Leagues (BT West 4 Division). For the upcoming season, Shawlands FP XV's captains are Garry Bessant and Andi Wilson.
