This team was originally called “The Pheasant Rovers” because they practised on the field behind The Pheasant and the pub was where they socialised. One evening the team got a bit lively in the pub and Southwell Elms, the then landlord, banned the entire team. The team didn’t take too kindly to being barred, so they changed their team name from The Pheasant Rovers to The Renegades and, from then on, went to play on the field behind Welland House Care Home (which at that time was the Remand Home), and the team socialised elsewhere.
