     Details from the early years of the club are obviously difficult to obtain. After the formation of the club as St Luke's Blakenhall the assumption is that the club played a number of games which saw no details published in newspapers and records. Details that I have been able to obtain are recorded below and is still an ongoing project.
     Updates will be added as any further details are found.
