History

Cadbury Athletic F.C. was formed in 1994 and immediately gained entry to the Midland Combination Division Three. The club is affiliated with the Cadbury's factory based in Bournville, using the company's logo as its badge and even playing in the Cadbury's corporate colours of purple and white. Although the Cadbury's factory does boast its own sports ground, the first team currently play their home matches at the ground of Pilkington XXX in King's Norton.

Cadbury finished ninth in their first season in Division Three but were nonetheless promoted to Division Two. In 2000–01 they were promoted to Division One and in 2004–05 gained promotion to the Premier Division, where they remain to this day. In the 2006–07 season they entered the FA Vase for the first time, followed a year later by their debut in the FA Cup.
