Coleshill Town Football Club are from Coleshill in Warwickshire, and were founded in 1894 although their first ever recorded game was in November 1885 against Acocks Green. They were awarded a certificate by the FA in 1994 for recognition of 100 years in the Football Association although matches prior to this were either friendly or challenge matches. They currently play in the Southern League Division One Central.
Coleshill Town FC play at the Pack Meadow Stadium in Coleshill, a stadium which holds 2070 supporters. Coleshill have had a few nicknames in the past but the most recent is ‘The Colemen’ or ‘The Colts'. Their home kit is a white and blue shirt, blue shorts and blue socks, and their away kit is all red, red shirt, shorts and socks.
The last time we played Coleshill Town FC was away back in the league Cup where we drew 1-1 in September this season but were sadly knocked out on penalties. That night we played with many changes to the team so today we will have a much stronger starting line up and hopefully a better chance of getting the vital win Sutton need to challenge for promotion.
Coleshill are unbeaten in their last five games and have shot up the table to seventh place just outside the play-offs. They will be keen to win today to put themselves on track for promotion; Sutton have won their last 2 games and will hopefully extend that today, but with no game last week due to excessive rain, let’s hope it has not interfered with our momentum, time will tell I guess.
Let’s hope for a great day against our local rivals, one of the few we have in this league.
