The Cresconians was formed i think for Oldbury Grammar "Old Boys" and is still in existence now.
If you google it you will get more information.

Are you talking about 'Cresconians' that played in the B'ham A.F.A. in the
1950/60s together with teams like 'Old Wulfrunians' & Walsall Phoenix ???

My Ex is an "old" Oldbury Grammar School boy - I'm sure I remember him saying he played for the Cresconians, he also played for Oldbury United and Richardson Steels.
There's no place like home ......
