Chequerfield Rangers were formed in 1988 when The Chequerfield Hotel saw the arrival of new landlord & landlady Steve McManus & Jill Frost. Steve, a great Rugby League enthusiast and ex-pro with Wigan, Leeds & Doncaster formed the side comprising of ex Pontefract Labour Club players and new talent from the area. Pete Bridges was appointed to coach the new club.

Placed in Division 3 of the Sunday West Yorkshire A.R.L in season 88/89 they emerged as undefeated champions earning a promotion straight to Division 1 the following season. A dispute at the club left the Rangers without a coach for the forcoming season. Ex Wakefield player Alan Shaw was duely appointed. Chequerfield repeated the excellent performance and again became Division Champions losing only one league game all season - their final game against Wrenthorpe (Doncaster). Revenge was to be sweet when they beat Wrenthorpe in the top four play off final. Chequerfield successfully applied to play in the Yorkshire A.R.L. in season 90/91, placed in division 2. Successfull cup runs lead to Chequerfield having to play 6 games in 15 days at the end of this first season the climax being at Belle Isle (Leeds). Victory would bring Chequerfield's 3rd consecutive title. A highly thrilling match ended in a 10-11 victory for Chequerfield. The season was completed when they beat Houghton (Castleford) in the top 4 play off final. Chequerfield's success continued seeing them promoted to the Senior Division in '92 and ultimately to the Premier Division in '93. In 95/96 Chequerfield were to experience their worst season to date.

With relegation looming coach Alan Shaw, who was responsible for taking them from West Yorkshire Division 3 to Yorkshire League Premier Division in consecutive years decided to step down and hand the reins to then assistant coach Spike Hughes. Chequerfield were inevitably relegated to the Senior Division at the seasons end, but with an incredible act to follow Spike was to prove to be equal to the task in season 96/97 - Chequerfield's darkest season was to be followed by their finest!

In 1998 Chequerfield joined the newly formed White Rose League which comprised of twelve teams - 8 top teams from the Humberside league and 4 from the Yorkhsire League Premier Division. In thier first season Chequerfield didn't emerge too well finishing near the bottom of the table. But with some new signings they did a lot better in season 99/2000 finishing in the top half of the table.

After a couple of seasons in the White Rose League, travellling to Hull every other week was taking its toll on the squad. With numbers dwindling and morale in the camp running low, Calvin decided it was time to call it a day. Adverts were placed in the local press for a new coach and local lad Neil Roebuck ex of Bradford, Featherstone and Castleford was given the role. It was decided that Chequerfield would return to the Yorkshire league and were placed in Division 2. Neil's presence brought a new buzz to the club, he also encouraged the up & coming talent from the youth teams and gave them a chance to prove themselves in the senior squad. This was to prove very successful and the Rangers once again became champions with a couple of games in hand. To add to the success they went onto win the top 4 play offs, the Cas & Fev District Open Cup and were just pipped by Moorends in a very closely fought White Rose Cup final. Promooted to Division 1, Chequerfield started the 2002/03 season very strongly winning all of thegames in the first half of the season. A couple of points dropped in drawn matches were to prove costly and the Rangers eventually finished in third position on points difference. Neil's succes has really boosted the club as a whole and for season 2003/04 the Rangers will boast 2 senior teams.
