Old Halesonians RFC is an amateur club playing in Midlands 1 West. We run a comprehensive Mini & Junior section (Under 7 to Under 17), a successful Colts squad and 4 senior sides including a Veterans team.

We play in royal blue jerseys with an amber hoop and scarlet edging, and blue shorts.

Old Halesonians Rugby Club was formed in 1930 using the playing fields of the Halesowen Grammar School (now Earls High School). At first, games were played on Newfields, an excellent playing surface although players had to regularly remove the resident sheep and horses!

In 1946 The Old Halesonians Association started a memorial fund for old scholars killed in the War and soon raised £685-14-8d. By 1954 this sum had increased to £1000, but finding playing fields was proving to be difficult. Later that year, Mr Ron Goodman sold the club 12 acres of sloping land near the Halesowen Bypass for £920.

In 1961 A&J Mucklow builders agreed to exchange our land for 13.5 acres at Wassell Grove. They laid 2 Rugby pitches, a cricket square, a hockey pitch and gave the Association £10,000 to build a pavilion which was officially opened on 21st April 1965.

Vast improvements have occurred since then. A members lounge was first added in 1969 and redesigned in 1983 and considerable extensions on the south side of the building were also made. The real effort has gone into the land, initally it was just a bog, but, after 20 years of hard work (and over £50,000) proper drainage pipes have been laid.

In 1986/87 we bought some more land which is now the first XV pitch. Which brings us to today where we have 6 rugby pitches (one floodlit), a floodlit training area, 8 changing rooms, a gymnasium, a 118 seat stand on the first XV pitch and a bar / members lounge selling the best beer in the Midlands - or so we're told.
