Kelvinside-West is a former rugby union team that played their home games at Balgray Playing Fields, Glasgow, Scotland.
Kelvinside-West was a short-lived rugby union club based on the merger of Kelvinside Academicals and West of Scotland.
The team was founded in 1945 after the Second World War in a bid to regroup and once again kick start rugby union in Glasgow.
The main drivers of the merger were West of Scotland who found themselves out of a home after being evicted by the cricket club of Hamilton Crescent, their old ground.
In 1951-52 season both Kelvinside Academicals and West of Scotland became strong enough to once again have their own teams and the merger ended.
