SAINTS WIN THE WORLD CUP OF CRESTS

Posted by St Clears AFC on Sunday, March 22, 2020

The competition, which ended last night, had been going on for the majority of March, and we’ve lost track of the thousands that have being voting for their favourite every other day.

Any non league side, from as high as the National League, to those down in the county leagues, even some unknown unique logos from across the world featured.

 

It started with a huge amount of regional qualifying rounds, with 384 clubs taking part, before it eventually went down the final 32.

Those who got into the last 32 were Sheffield, Stokesley, Vets Reunited, Newcastle Blue Star, Boldon CA, Windscale, AFC Liverpool, Padiham, Rowsley 86, Wirksworth Ivanhoe, Redditch Borough, Bromsgrove Sporting, St Clears, Pontypridd, Bangor 1876, Huntingdon Town, Bradford Town, Porthleven, Newton Abbot Spurs, Welling Town, FC Roast, FC Elmstead, Buckie Thistle, FC Show, FC Eyjafjallajokull, Tunbridge Wells, Bearsted, Caversham United, Rainhill Town, Wombwell Town, Celtic Shatura and Aveley.

A big thank you to all who’ve voted, shared, and supported us the last few weeks!!!! All good fun, even more so in these recent times. A massive thank you to @NonRambler for organising, give him a follow on twitter if you can. St Clears AFC champions of the world!!!”

We here at Fan Banter certainly hope that this becomes an annual event, if not, we might be tempted to take it over.
