Clubmark Award and Hall Bower
In 2003, through the hard work of the management committee, the club were awarded the Sport England Clubmark award.
It also became evident that as the club grew, the two fields at Newsome High School and Sports College alone would not be enough to stage the number of games required each weekend. Therefore in 2003 the club took a 30 year lease on the playing fields at Hall Bower Lane. Games were first played on the fields in September 2004 with the club now splitting games between these fields and the fields at the high school.
