HISTORY
Mayfield ARLFC was formed on 24 June 1958 at the Mayfield Hotel on Albert Royd Street, Rochdale. The club played its first game on 6 September 1958 against Underbank of Huddersfield in the Halifax League.
After moving to the Old Bridge Inn on Oldham Road and using Balderstone Park and Springhill as playing bases, Mayfield enjoyed a hugely successful era. During the 1970s, the club dominated the community game, winning every trophy available outside the professional ranks, including the Pennine League seven years in a row.
In 1986, Mayfield again moved to bigger and better facilities at Castleton Moor, Keswick Street, and they entered the National Conference League in 1988, changing their name to Rochdale Mayfield.
In 1997, the junior section, the Mayfield Mustangs, was founded, helping provide a solid grounding for life and Rugby League for many youngsters, many of whom have gone on to play professionally.
The club moved to Mayfield Sports Centre in 2006 and the NCL Division 1 Championship was won the same year, under coaches Matt Calland and the late Steve Gartland.
Promotion back to the Premier Division of the Kingstone Press Cider National Conference League was won in season 2014 under coach Matt Calland and current first team coach Sam Butterworth.
Rochdale Mayfield ARLFC have been a permanent fixture in the NCL Premier Division since!
