At the end of the 1990–91 season Casuals were demoted to Division One. They won the Division One title in 1994–95 and were promoted back to the Premier Division. The 1997–98 season saw the club win the Staffordshire Vase, beating Hanford Y&A on penalties in the final.[2] In 2000–01 they won the Walsall Senior Cup, beating Sutton Coldfield Town 2–0 in the final. The club were Premier Division runners-up in 2016–17. Based on their performance in the partial 2019–20 and 2021–22 seasons, which were abandoned due to the COVID-19 pandemic, they were promoted to the Premier Division of the Midland League.
