Coleshill Town Football Club, nicknamed “The Colemen,” is a non-league football club based in Coleshill, Warwickshire.
Established in 1885, they currently compete in the Pitching In Northern Premier League Division One Midlands, which is part of the eighth tier of English football. The team calls Pack Meadow their home ground.
Matches were documented from November 1885, with entry to the Birmingham Youth & Old Boys League in 1906 and the Sutton & District League after World War I. A 1964 merger with Coleshill Hall prefaced a Division 2 double in 1970. The 1974 switch to Pack Meadow unlocked promotion to the Midland Combination top tier, relinquished only in the 2000-01 season.
Trophies: Walsall Senior Cup 1983 and Midland Combination runners-up 1984, while a 1989 Birmingham Senior Cup run included victory at St Andrew’s and a replay at Molineux. The side entered the FA Vase in 1975, best third round 2008, and the FA Cup in 1983, best third qualifying round 2010. Alumni include Tim Rawlings, Jimmy Dainty, Danny Hagan and Gary Shaw.
Since 1998 fortunes have mirrored managerial changes. Relegation in 2000 was immediately reversed, Mick Beadle’s 2007 team set a club record 802 scoreless minutes, and Carl Adams’s 2009 championship earned promotion to the Midland Alliance. Paul Casey achieved fourth in 2014 and runners-up in 2015; Simon Lyons’ squad reached the 2017 FA Vase semi-final. Cameron Stuart then secured 2018 promotion to the Southern League, where the 2019-20 and 2020-21 campaigns were cut short by COVID-19.
