Admin History:

Formed in 1961 and originally called the Birds Eye ARLFC due to most of the players working at the Birds Eye factory on Hessle Road, the team was to become one of the best in the country.

In 1971 the British Amateur Rugby League Association was formed and Birds Eye changed its name to West Hull ARLFC.

In the late 1970s a youth team was formed for the under 19s which proved to be just as successful as the senior team and the 1979-1980 season saw them win the Youth Yorkshire Cup and in 1985-1986 season they won the National Youth Cup final.

In 1986 West Hull became one of the ten top teams from around the country to become founder members of the newly formed National League.

In the early 1990s the club moved to the Circle, Anlaby Road and by the middle of the 1990s the National League had become the National Conference League. The lead up to the millennium was particularly successful for the club and they went on to become Premier Division champions in the 1996-1997, 1998-1999 and 1999-2000 seasons. By this time they were playing at The Boulevard after the closure of The Circle.

The end of 2003 saw them change their name to West Hull Community Sports Club and move to Francis Askew School where they continue to play today.
