The champions had a celebration to remember with the bus parade through Wrexham.

Thousands gathered in the streets from the Racecourse through the centre of Wrexham, patiently waiting to see the three busses carrying the men’s and women’s teams who have both seen a successful football season and have been promoted.

The buses began their journey at 6.15pm but it took them two hours to reach the centre of Wrexham, where the crowds had gathered. The town was red in anticipation with flags and horns at the ready.

The buses were also followed by an entourage of devoted fans singing their hearts out for the occasion.

Leo, Ruben, Ben and Emily Williams were excited for the event, and came decked out in their finest Wrexham gear ready to welcome the busses.

Together, they said: “We’re excited, and we love Wrexham!”

Timothy Steel, whose shop Chevron sits on High Street, where the busses went through, said he had sold hundreds of Wrexham themed shirts in the lead up to the event.

He observed that pubs and restaurants had been busy in the lead up also, and wants to see the businesses doing well of the back of the huge season the teams have had.

He said: “Hopefully, they’ll all benefit. Everyone’s getting a bit of it aren’t they? It’s doing the economy a world of good.”

Jen’s father Dave Smallman actually played for Wrexham in the 70s, so there was some history to their celebration of the event which they are hoping to remember for a long time to come.

She said: “It’s something that they (Abigail and Layla) will remember forever, is why we come, just for a memory for them. It’s never happened in our lifetime.”
