As the match ended in a 3-0 Uxbridge victory over Blackley Town, Wellington Group CEO Geoffrey Wellington was near tears celebrating in the visitor's box with Director of Football Eadburt Clement and club President Bertrand Jeunechamp. The win cemented a league title for JR Wellington Sports Management, the first in the organization's new history, and the first since Næstved Idrætsforening af 1894 won the Danish League back in S33.
In an interview the following day, Geoffrey Wellington really summarized the history and monumental effort that led the group to be back winning league titles in championship football. "My grandfather was always proud of his accomplishments in football perhaps more than almost anything else" said Wellington, speaking about his late grandfather, the legendary football executive and CEO Gregory Wellington. "But those trophies all came before I was born. Now, to see Uxbridge win this title, and the Premier League title in England to boot, it's really and truly special. I really wanted to make my grandfather proud in bringing this organization back, and I hope that we are doing that."
Now with the title won and the season fully wrapped, the next step will be to plan the parade in West London. Eadburt Clement, Uxbridge's former President and now the man in charge of football across the Wellington organization, is the man tasked with organizing that. "It's going to be quite an exciting affair" said Clement. "I think getting to show off that trophy in front of our thousands of fans is something all of the players are really looking forward to. They have really accomplished a lot this year, and I hope they get to enjoy in these celebrations as a reward for that work."
The parade itself will be taking place a week today, with the team, executives, and local politicians all expected to be in attendance.
