The club was formed in 1932 and was called Solihull Old Boys. They played at Broomfields which was grazing land for Mr Price's horses. The changing rooms were in Mill Lane with a tin bath and cold water until the outbreak of war. After the war they had the great fortune to obtain the wartime decontamination centre at Solihull Hospital for changing with an unlimited supply of hot water.

The Headmaster Mr A R Thompson was the first President of the Rugby Club and attended every meeting from the Club's formation to his retirement in 1947.

From the 1930's until the late 1940's the Cooper family ran the Club, while during this time Bill Wigley's snooker room was used for selection.

All of the first XV were called up immediately at the outbreak of war except GE Sanders and CT Coton. 

The Club was reformed in1946 by Alan Bradbury, CT Coton (CTC) and Mel Cooper. Harold Wheatley was the first founder member to become president while CTC was put on the committee immediately he left school in 1936 to represent the 'younger element'. 

Stuart Sanders and CTC represented the County side while playing for the Sils and the first Easter Tour was in 1953 to Southend Rugby festival. The touring party shared the hotel with Kings Lynn Ladies Hockey Club and this was the only time that wives and girlfriends went on tour.

In 1953 the Sils moved to Dingle Lane and the opening game was between WC Ramsey XV (President elect of the RFU) and an Old Sils and Midlands Combined side, watched by a crowd of 3,000.

In 1959 the Birmingham and Warwickshire Old Boys seven-a-side competition was started and for the first time dinner jackets were worn at the Annual Dinner.

The Club then moved to their current home at Copt Heath in 1967 and won the Old Boys seven-a-side competition for the first time beating Old Saltleians 13-5. In the same season they also beat Cambridge University, captained by Old Boy Martin Green,8-3. From this time until the mid 1970's they were probably one of the best Old Boys sides in the area.

They then went through a lean spell and decided to go open in 1982, opening it's doors to non- Old Boys of the School and dropping 'Old' from their name. 

The Sils gradually improved , culminating in promotion in 1991 to Warwickshire Division One of the Courage League, under the captaincy of Alan Elliott.

The Sils have enjoyed three more promotions. 1994/95 under the captaincy of Nick Savage, 1998/99 captained by Andrew Durrant and 2000/01 lead by Andrew Clutterbuck, and they now play in Midlands 3 West (South).

Undoubtedly the clubs greatest achievement to date was their appearance in the 1999 Tetley's Bitter Vase Final at Twickenham. Unfortunately we lost 3-19 to Billericay but the experience was one that no one will ever forget.

The Club has many well known figures in particular Claude (CT) Coton who was Captain, President (twice) and served on the committee for over 50 years.

The 2007/08 season saw us celebrate our 75th Anniversary.
