Well done Crewe Alexandra

 

Cheshire East Council is congratulating Crewe Alexandra FC after they secured promotion to League One at Wembley Stadium yesterday (Sunday).

The Alex saw off Cheltenham Town 2-0 in the League Two play-off final thanks to a dream goal by Haslington-based youngster Nick Powell and a further strike from Byron Moore.

More than 13,500 Crewe fans made the trip to the home of English football to roar the Alex on to glory.

Councillor Michael Jones, Leader of Cheshire East Council, said: “What a boost this is for the town and for sport in Cheshire East. We are committed to developing civic pride and I am delighted for all those who are associated with Crewe Alex, who have made us all very proud.

“The Alex scored two great goals which have capped a tremendous season for the club. It was thoroughly deserved for all the dedication shown by the players and staff in providing an exciting and fantastic end to a great season.

“A number of the team were born and raised in the Crewe area, this makes us even more proud. I’d like to wish the club the best of luck for their League One campaign next season.”
