What a magnificent performance by this team! A genuine `feel good' story in which a group of young men networked amongst themselves to create and build a completely new football team from nothing at the start of this year, then went on to win a Premiership in their first season. An outstanding achievement in any sport at any level!
The Cheltenham boys have generated a wonderful team spirit and `never say die' attitude which was never more evident than in their fighting Grand Final victory on the weekend. Everyone at Cheltenham FC is very proud of these boys. They are a quality group of young men and a credit to themselves, their families, their club and the local community. They have been great ambassadors for the Cheltenham Football Club and the SFL this season.
Club mascot `Big Bird' was `out of his tree' with excitement as he celebrated with the team post match. "That's my boys!" said Mr Bird. "I knew they'd win it because these young Rosellas always give 100%, they're never beaten and they just keep coming!
`Big Bird' and members of the Premiership team will display the Premiership Cup and pennant at the Charman Road, Cheltenham shopping centre on Saturday morning, 15th September between 10am and 11am.
