Moulton make the 55 mile journey into Staffordshire on Saturday where they meet Coton Green in the UCL Premier Div South, kick off 3:00 pm.
Coton Green, nicknamed the ‘Green Army’ play their home games in an all Green kit and were established in June 1982 as an under-13 team, gradually expanding to run several junior teams. In the early 2000s the club entered an adult team into the Tamworth & District Sunday League. In 2004 they switched to Saturday football, joining Division Three of the Midland Combination. The club won Division Three at the first attempt, earning promotion to Division Two. After finishing second in Division Two in 2006–07 they were promoted to Division One. The club were Division One runners-up the following season, securing promotion to the Premier Division. However, the club spent only one season in the Premier Division, finishing bottom of the table and being relegated back to Division One. Coton Green remained in Division One until 2014 when the Midland Combination merged with the Midland Alliance to form the Midland League, with the club placed in Division Two. In 2021–22 they were Division Two runners-up, earning promotion to Division One. The club finished fifth in Division One in 2024–25, qualifying for the promotion play-offs. After beating Heather St John’s 2–0 in the semi-finals, they defeated Leicester St Andrews 5–3 on penalties in the final to earn promotion to the Premier Division.
Last season saw them end up in 10th position in the Midland Football League Premier Division with 51pts from their 34 games (wins 13; draws 12; defeats 9). After transferring to the United Counties Premier Division South for this season, they currently occupy 6th position with 10pts from their 6 games to date (wins 3; draws 1; defeats 2):
