Truro City to celebrate promotion with bus parade

Truro City are the first football club from Cornwall to win promotion to the National League

Truro City Football Club will celebrate its National League South title win by lifting the trophy later on Saturday.

The celebrations will begin with an open-top bus parade in the afternoon.

The bus carrying the players and club staff is scheduled to leave Truro City Stadium at 13:30 BST, go past the train station and along Boscawen Street before arriving outside Truro Cathedral.

The trophy presentation will begin outside the cathedral at 14:00.

The trophy was not presented to the team following the game on the last day of the season as there were six possible winners.

After the trophy presentation, players will re-board the open-top bus.

A celebratory tour of the city will see the bus return to the Truro City Stadium, with the trophy.

Nobody thought they could do it and nobody expected it. That sums up Truro City's remarkable season.

Over the course of 46 matches, Truro City transformed from homeless club to promotion heroes.

They went from relegation favourites to National League South champions.

History was made too - they became the first team from Cornwall to reach the National League.

Their season went to the wire. Six teams were in contention to win the title on the final day.

Truro beat St Albans City 5-2 in a thrilling game. It was a result that left supporters joyous, yet stunned.

There's still a lingering sense of disbelief that the Tinners will be playing in the National League next season.
