This makes Clock Face the oldest amateur Rugby League club in the town. It was formed by the local Clock Face Colliery and in particular the Colliery’s owner The Earl of Crawford. The Earl was a social visionary and in 1914 had built the Clock Face Miners Recreation Club and grounds to house various sports as a recreational past time for his employees, one of these being Rugby League. Nearly 100 years on although the Colliery is long gone, Clock Face Miners ARLFC is still based at the Club and playing on the grounds donated by the late Earl. The club entered the St.Helens and Widnes District League in 1921 and were runners-up in its inaugural season.
