The Mayor of Poole formally congratulated Poole Pirates on their success this season during a ceremony at the Civic Centre.
Riders joined the Mayor and other Council members for a private reception in recognition of their outstanding success this year, which saw the Pirates top the Elite League Championship for a sixth time. Council staff also joined the team for the presentation of a specially-commissioned Poole Pottery plate to celebrate their fantastic season.
Cllr Peter Adams, Mayor of Poole, Borough of Poole, said: “We are all terribly proud of Poole Pirates and their tremendous success – it is great to have such a fantastic team of local sportsmen whose achievements are a credit to our town. We were delighted to welcome the riders and other team members to the Civic Centre to celebrate their triumph this season.”
