Non League team celebrate title with open top bus parade in scaffolding lorry, the scenes were incredible

Dawley Town held a parade to celebrate their title triumph but had to think on their feet.

Non League side Dawley Town thought outside of the box when it came to celebrating their title triumph.

Town won the Shropshire County League Premier Division title after collecting an impressive 76 points from 26 games.

They only dropped points on one occasion and went the whole season unbeaten.

The Jockeys finished 10 points clear of nearest rivals Ludlow and secured promotion to step six in Non League.

The Shropshire outfit lifted the trophy at Doseley Road at the weekend following a 5-0 trouncing of Wem Town to cap off a stunning invincible season.

But the club then decided to throw quite the title party afterwards. Dawley put on an open top bus parade but didn't appear to have the budget or facilities to get such a vehicle.

Instead, the players jumped on a yellow scaffolding lorry (with WM Scaffold LTD written on) and paraded around the town centre with the trophy proudly held aloft.

There was even pyro and confetti onboard and the scenes looked brilliant, with images shared online showing players and the public lapping it up.

It really is Non League football at its finest and we're absolutely here for it. Wrexham, owned by Hollywood pair Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, held an open top bus parade to celebrate their promotion back to the National League.

The BBC covered the Welsh outfit's celebrations extensively, which led to some criticising the decision to stream it live.

In 2019, Essex Sunday League side Duckpond FC splashed out £4,000 on an open top bus parade after finishing top of the Colchester and District Sunday League.

At the time they had been promoted three times and brought out the bus for every celebration. They won 15 out of 16 games and also lifted the Fowler Memorial Cup to cement their place as the best Sunday League side in their area.
