The team first approached Meriden Parish Council last year when they needed a pitch.  Since then they've stuck with us and as the new playing fields build progressed they wanted to remain in Meriden.  Originally from Castle Bromwich, they asked if they could sign up for the 2011/12 football season in Meriden and then renamed themselves Triumph Meriden FC. 

Anyone interested in playing for Triumph Meriden FC can contact Dean Sherington, Manager on 07836 667006.
