Since then the club has seen many changes. In 1983 Earls Barton Saxons formed a youth team playing on Recreation field. Dave Pick, Jim Boughton, Graham Halsall, Bill Wellbourne and Mel Johnson sat round a table, threw in £10.00 each, which in those days bought a green / yellow kit and entered the Weetabix League. 1989 there was a surge of interest from new managers, helpers and Committee Members and the club increased in size from one team to several. 1992 and the use of the Pioneer Sportsfield was offered to the "Saxons" and Earls Barton Rovers who played senior football on Sundays.
