THE MIDLAND FOOTBALL LEAGUE PREMIER DIV'N
SATURDAY 1st AUGUST 2026 3.00pm KICK OFF
NORTHWICH VICTORIA v ROMULUS
THIS MATCH HAS KINDLY BEEN SPONSORED BY TOM JACKSON
Romulus have finished 13th in the Midland League ( out of 18 ) for the last two seasons so will be looking to press on this season and get into the top half. They are based in the Castle Vale area of Birmingham and were only formed in 1979 when they started playing Sunday League football. They eventually started playing senior football in 1999 and entered the Midland Football Combination. Two promotions followed in 2003/4 and again in 2006/7 but were relegated into the Midland League Premier in 2018.
Romulus have had a fair pre-season having wins against Redditch Borough, and AFC Bridgnorth , and 2 - 2 draws against Coventry Sphinx and then Sutton Coldfield Town.
Vics will be looking to get off to another flying start, and it will be interesting to see which of the squad get into the first 11 after a pre-season where performance in general was better than the results.
Lets get down to support the lads again this season
