Brierton School Sports' Day
Grayfields Pavilion is fondly remembered by many Rugby Clubs and players in the town and in North East England complete with its Spartan accommodation especially the oil lamps!
It had been used by the majority of Rugby Clubs in the town as they became homeless at some time in their history.
TDSOB still use playing fields at the Ground, they moved from the Pavillion to their new Clubhouse in 1986.
