In its early years, the club played on the Welfare Ground, known as Kings Holme, a shared field with cricket and football teams. This period saw the club developing its identity and laying the groundwork for future successes. However, the outbreak of World War I led to the disbanding of the team, but it was reformed post-war under the name of St Catherine’s Church and later as ‘Grovesend Welfare’ before reverting back to its original name in the early 1950s.
