In 1976 the club joined the West Midlands League First Division, winning it in the first season and runners up the next, delivering promotion to the Premier Division. A high point in the club’s history came in 1985 in the Birmingham Senior Cup, winning away at West Bromwich Albion 5-1 before losing the final 2-0 to Aston Villa at Villa Park. Floodlights were added to the Cottage Ground in 1990, and with back to back premier division titles in 1995/96 and 1996/97 the club gained promotion to the Midlands Alliance League. The 2001/02 season saw healthy third place finish and a fine run in the Birmingham Senior Cup beating Birmingham City before losing 1-0 to West Bromwich Albion in the semi-final. Season of 2002/03 ended with relegation to re-enter the West Midlands League Premier Division. After four years of consolidation on and off the field, in mid-season 2006/07 fresh team management was appointed pulling the club out of relegation position to a creditable thirteenth place finish. The 2007/08 season saw the club finish fourth in the league, runners up in the League Cup and winning the J.W. Hunt Cup final at Molineux. A new management duo of Robert Morris and Paul Sullivan in the 2010/11 season in the West Midlands (Regional) League Premier Division. An exciting young team carried the club to a top five league finish and a bonus of good runs in both the F.A. Cup and the F.A. Vase, the following season saw the club finish in the top six and reach the Premier Division League Cup Final again with a youthful attacking team. The current season sees the club with a reformed management team of Robert Morris, Lee Price, John King and Michael Marston who are in the process of shaping a new young team with a strong influence from our own youth set-up which we hope will provide the basis of our team in future years.. With the club now an established F.A. Charter Standard Club we intend to further develop the club’s growing youth set up which at present has some two dozen teams ranging from under 7’s academies (both boys and girls) to senior men’s and ladies sides and most age groups in between. It is also our intention to form closer ties with local residents, businesses and council groups while becoming a more community based club. Our Strip .
