History

THE STORY SO FAR...
18 Aug 2009

The club was formed as Birchills United by Michael Moseley, Steve Hinks, Jason Moseley and Ian Mason in 2006.


Starting life as members of the Wolverhampton Combination, we swept all before us in our first season, winning all 20 League games as well as the Baker Cup and Oakley Cup.


Agreeing a deal to play at The Old Red Lion Ground in Somerfield Road, Bloxwich in the summer of 2007, we were accepted into the Sport Italia West Midlands (Regional) League.


Getting a place in the first division because of our facilities, we made a bright start to life at the higher level and went on to claim the Division One title - scoring over 100 goals in the process - as well as reaching the semi-final of the League Cup.


Changing our name to Bloxwich United AFC in May 2008 as we prepared for life at a higher level, Franklyn Duffus was appointed as Chairman with Andrew Poole given the title of President. Alan Jones also joined the committee.


Our first season in the West Midlands (Regional) League Premier Division was a successful one as we finished runners-up, just a couple of points off the title, having scored an impressive 123 goals in 40 League games.


There was success in the JW Hunt Cup as we lifted the trophy with a 1-0 victory over AFC Wulfrunians in the Final at Molineux.


The summer of 2009 saw Rod Jones appointed as Chairman.


Progress continued as the club won the Walsall Senior Cup by beating Rushall Olympic 1-0 in the Final at Banks's Stadium in front of a crowd of 700 whilst also retaining the JW Hunt Cup with a 2-0 Final victory over Stafford Town.


Runners-up place in the West Midlands (Regional) League Premier Division was once more secured as the club clocked up 94 points and scored 128 goals in the process.


We hope to embrace our local community and stimulate a sense of pride in the area as we move forward.
