Kelly's Angels claimed the League Of Champs title today!, And boy did they do it in style, winning 5-0 at home to the delight of there manager and fans.
It's some story with the Angel's winning the title!, Everton1977ace took over the club some ten season's ago, The team was in a mess lingering in the lower leagues of division 7, The manager recently lost his sister to a brain tumor, And with the chairman's permission the club changed its team name to Kelly's Angel's in her memory.
In no time at all the manager reshaped the team with youth and exciting talent, within a few season's the team started to make the climb, With games the players grew stronger in skill and experience, And it wasn't before long that the team was moving up the ranks very quickly, Playing amongst the big boys in the league.
Before reaching the top division the team reached the League Of Champs Cup Final, Only to come short and lose via a penalty shoot-out!, This didn't stop the angel's gaining promotion to the top flight though, And in there first season of being there!, They are now crowned champions!.
We caught up with the emotional manager at the final whistle of today's game and this is what he had to say, " I've been a manager on Xpert Eleven since 2006!, In my official league career I won 3 Power League Cup trophies with Club Buenos Aires, I have never won an official league title until now!, And I must say this tops the lot!, It mean's so much and is something that I have wanted to achieve for a long time!."
He went on to say, " I recently lost my mum, She was only 56yrs old, It really hurt me, She was my best friend, Then out of the blue I received news that my sister only had weeks to live, Her husband was battling cancer also, As time passed myself and my family lost them both!, They had a 8yrs old daughter at the time, I'm now her guardian and she lives with myself, My wife and our three children, Now my focus was different!!!, Xpert eleven helped keep my mind busy, And in honour of my sister we formed Kelly's Angels, And right now I could not be prouder!, It's been a long road, But we got there!, We did It!."
On a final note the tearful, But smiling manager had this to say, " Kelly!, This is for you!, All the years and hours I've spent as a manager on Xpert Eleven, And boy did you gave me stick for doing so, Has now finally paid off!, I miss you each day!, But this day will live long in the memory!, You are a champion of a sister!, Kelly's Angels are champions and we and I salute you!!!!!!."
Well there you have emotional words there from the gaffer!, Kelly's Angels are champions!, What next for them?, Only time will tell!, Watch this space!.
