Last Time They Were Here… Coles have never visited us before
Did you know… Coleshill began life in the Iron Age, before the Roman conquest of 43 AD, as the Grimstock Hill Romano-British settlement, north of the River Cole. The area was at the junction of two powerful Celtic Tribes – the Coritanii to the east from Leicester, and to the west the Cornovii from Viroconium Corno-viorum.
In the post Roman or Arthurian period (The Dark Ages), the nucleus of Coleshill moved about a kilometre to the south, to the top of the hill. Here the present church is set and the medieval town developed around it.
Simon Digby was awarded the manor of Coleshill in 1496 by King Henry VII, following the Battle of Bosworth and the execution of Simon de Montford for helping in the at-tempt to oust the King.
During the era of coaching and the turnpike trusts, Coleshill became important as a ma-jor staging post on the coaching roads from London to Chester, Liverpool and Holyhead. At one point there were over twenty inns in the town. The Coleshill to Lichfield Turnpike dates from 1743.

On this day in Rovers history… Rovers’ last game on this date was in 2012, away at Cogenhoe United. Rovers won two nil on the day, goals coming from Jordan Jarrold and Ash Farmer.
There have only been thirteen recorded games for Rovers on this date in the 135 year history.

Rovers welcome the Coles to Hillgrounds after their promotion from the Midland League last season. They were promoted as runner’s up, six points behind champions Bromsgrove and two clear of third placed Highgate.
