[edit] History

Continental Star FC was founded in 1975 in the Lozells area of Birmingham under the name of Villa Star by Orville Broomfield, the current name being adopted two years later. In 1981 they joined the Birmingham Works League and worked their way up from Division 4B to the Premier Division over many seasons.

In 1993 the decision was made to step up to the Midland Combination, initially in Division Three, but within four seasons they had been promoted to the Premier Division, where they remain to this day.

In 2001 they changed their name to Handsworth Continental Star, but this name change only lasted for one season.

[edit] Ground

After entering senior football the club initially shared the ground of Coleshill Town, and later the ground of Paget Rangers, before settling in Oldbury, initially sharing with the now-defunct Sandwell Borough.
