AFC Wimbledon being crowned champions

Well it turned out to be a day to remember at Kingsmeadow with AFC Wimbledon clinching the Blue Square South, and winning promotion to the Conference. The match itself saw a convincing 3-0 win, but the real celebrations took place afterwards when Wimbledon captain Jason Goodliffe was presented with the trophy, sparking off jubilant scenes. Attending AFC matches as mayor is always a great experience, and the fans are very welcoming. The achievements of the club this season, and over the last seven years is nothing short of remarkable, and it really is a fantastic achievement. As mayor it has been a great honour supporting AFC in their work, and also the team.

I will be, as mayor hosting a Civic Reception for the team at the Civic Centre in Morden. It will be an opportunity to thank the team and everyone associated with AFC for their efforts over the last season. It promises to be a great celebration, and the team deserves it as well.
