Dawley Town Football Club a team based just South of Telford in Shropshire have had a remarkable season in the Salop Leisure Football League Premier Division which is the 11th tier of the English football pyramid.
They not only won the League but also went the whole campaign unbeaten winning 26 of 27 matches with only one draw.
The Invincibles decided to celebrate in style through the town, but the mode of transport was the back of a scaffolding truck instead of an open-top bus!
The streets were lined by supporters, family and friends plus some bemused locals just going about their day.
The small town of Dawley was once a mining town for over 3 centuries and was even mentioned in the Domesday Book, it has a regular street market in its town centre that consists of a single pedestrianised street, a street that was awash with blue flares and colourful ticker tape as the team passed through with chants of “Championes Championes Ole Ole" echoing around the historic buildings.
The Shropshire side lifted the trophy at their Doseley Road ground at the weekend following a 5-0 win against Wem Town which meant The Jockeys finished 10 points clear of nearest rivals Ludlow and secured promotion to step six in Non-League next season.
