Grounds
The club initially played at "The Rec" on Earlham Road, a ground which also reportedly included the best cycle track in England. After World War II they moved to Norwich City's old Newmarket Road ground, now owned by the Town Close House Preparatory & Pre-Preparatory School. They remained at the site until the school required the ground for its own use, at which point they moved to another ground on Newmarket Road known as the Civil Service Ground. In 1988 they relocated to their current site in Swardeston.
