Northfield Town F.C.

Northfield Town F.C. is a football club based in the Selly Oak area of Birmingham, England.

Although Northfield Town F.C. came into being in 1966, its origins go back to the early 1950’s. After spells in the Kings Norton League, Warwickshire & West Midlands Alliance and the Mercian League, they joined the Combination in 1957 (then the Worcestershire Combination). Playing under the name of Allen’s Cross they won the League Challenge Cup in their first year and the League Championship in 1961/62. Following amalgamation with another successful local side, Castle Rovers, the club played briefly as Cross Castle United before adopting the present title of Northfield Town.
