WE MEET AGAIN - Continental Star

[Alan Beckett]

WE MEET AGAIN – CONTINENTAL STAR


Continental Star were promoted to the Midland Alliance for the start of last season, so this will be only the fourth time the sides have met at this level. But Town and Star did compete for ten seasons in the Midland Combination and even shared a pitch together. Star have always been nomads, never having a ground of their own, they currently rent at Rushall Olympic but prior to the year 2000 they played their football at Pack Meadow for a couple of seasons, and at that time consistently finished above their hosts. More recently Coleshill have been the better team with seven wins in the last ten meetings but overall, honours are very even over the 24 games the two sides have played. Interestingly, three times a Town player has scored four times against Star, Neil Kitching, Matty Robinson and Anthony Mathews. A fourth player added to that list this season would be nice!
