3. History 3


The ground had been built on what had been a rubbish tip, it had poor drainage, a bad surface and much debris just below the top soil which would be uncovered in prolonged wet weather. From 1972 until 1977 the council completely rebuilt the field into one of the best grounds in the County Borough. During that time all games were played away throughout the Heads of the valleys and beyond.
So to with the club headquarters from the Beaufort Inn, Beaufort Hill Welfare Hall and ground, top Beaufort Arms and to Scarrotts (The Rassau and Beaufort working Men’s Club known to all as Scarrotts because it was built on the site where a nationally known boxing booth pitched its tent when visiting the town) In November 2005 the name was changed to A Touch of Class.

Most of the club stuck together at this time but the experience of constant travel led to work to achieve the long held hopes of establishing its own permanent headquarters on the Carmeltown ground. The Clubhouse was opened on the 9th June 1985 and the following year the changing rooms were completed.
