Halesowen Town Fc History

Fast forward to 2018 and following Steve Lynch’s FA imposed ban from all football activities Club President and ex Chairman Colin Brookes became the ultimate owner of the club with his daughter and chair Karen Brookes and Keith McKenna becoming Directors of the club. The Yeltz narrowly avoided relegation and for the 2018-19 season will be playing in the newly formed Evo-Stik South Premier Division Central. In November 2018 the new management team of Rob Smith and his assistant Larry Chambers were appointed to replace John Hill and Matt Clarke, sadly the 2018-19 season saw relegation to step 4 for the Yeltz with Lee Hughes and Asa Charlton at the helm.

Paul Smith took over as manager in the summer of 2019 as he looks to get the Yeltz back to step 3 at the earliest opportunity.

The Yeltz were looking at promotion back to step 3 when the Corona Virus pandemic stopped football and the world in its tracks as the league results were expunged and the league declared Null and Void. The Yelets also reached the semi-final of the FA Trophy.

The 2020-21 season was but 12 games old when the season was curtailed, again due to the worldwide pandemic.

Last season 2021-22 Halesowen Town were places into the newly formed Pitching In Northern Premier League Midlands division and was Paul Smith’s first full season in charge of the Yeltz and despite never losing touch with the top stop all season were narrowly defeated in the Play-off semi final. Attendances were steadily on the up and an average of over 1,000 fans per game came to the Grove.
