In 1969 the club purchased the field which is currently the bottom two pitches, work started on the clubhouse and as there was no money, all work was carried out by the members and it opened in 25/1/1973

A major point in the clubs future came in 1977 when it was decided to start a colts. This lead to a new era in the club and 7 years later in 1984 when the first full team came through and at least half of them moved into the first team with Dave Hazelwood becoming our youngest ever captain at the ripe old age of 22.

In November 1987 we celebrated our first 25 years with a dinner at Grange Hall and Presidents Invitation XC v Club Select XV. The highlight of the match was the brief appearance of Andy Ripley, who appeared in his slippers (long story). It was a fantastic day remembered by all who attended.

This team and future colts became the basis of the first team for many years to come, leading to some significant scalps of the main teams in Warkwickshire.
