Kirkham and Wesham celebrate FA Vase win with open top bus parade
9:53am Tuesday 13th May 2008
Thousands of fans lined the streets of Kirkham and Wesham as the Wembley heroes paraded the FA Vase in an open-top bus parade.
The streets of the two neighbouring towns were packed as flag waving wellwishers gathered to cheer the team after their dramatic triumph in North London.
Among those hailing the supporters from the bus was two-goal hero Matt Walwyn, 17, whose two late goals overcame opponents Lowestoft and brought the trophy to Lancashire.
Captain, Dougie Shaw, who lifted the trophy at Wembley, said: "I want everyone who has turned out to know that this isn't for us, it is for you."
