Championship badge

Now available from the Cowdenbeath Supporters Club - a unique souvenir of last season's championship success! You saw the match, you cheered the open topped bus, you saw the flag raised, and you read the book - now wear the Badge with pride!

Following on from Cowdenbeath's historic and memorable 3rd Division title win last season, Cowdenbeath Supporters Club commissioned a commemorative badge to be struck in honour of this success. These badges are now available and will be on sale from this Saturday. It is recommended fans get their badge as soon as possible as it is expected that demand will be brisk and this is a strictly limited edition badge.

This attractive 1"/25mm diameter badge is circular in shape. It boasts a royal blue rim which bears the legends 'Cowdenbeath FC' at the top and 'Div. 3 Champions 2005-06' at the foot inscribed in silver. Separating the two legends are two small black diamond logos commemorating the mining roots of the town and the club formed over 125 years ago which proudly carries the nickname 'the Miners'.

The centre section of the badge has a silver background acknowledging the silverware Cowden carried off last season. At the top is a gold/yellow coloured trophy. The gold denoting Cowden's 'gold medal' achievement of last season whilst yellow of course is the Blue Brazil's away colour and a link with the famous Brazil jersey. On the left is a Finnish flag which represents the Paatelainen contribution to our success. On the right is a Scottish saltire representing the Scottish League Championship flag which now flies proudly at Central Park. Both flags of course bear the club colours. At the bottom of the centre section is the motto in blue lettering 'Stent Nae Stent'. This is the Scots motto of the community and Burgh of Cowdenbeath and means 'shirk no task' or 'always give your best'. It acknowledges that hard work and giving of your best brings just reward as it did for Cowdenbeath FC last season.

The badges are priced at £3.50 and will be on sale from Supporters Club Treasurer David Allan at Saturday's match and thereafter. Orders by post can be sent to David at 41 Garvock Hill, Dunfermline Fife, KY12 7UR (e-mail daallan6754@aol.com - Cheques payable to Cowdenbeath Football Supporters Club and please add 40p to cover p&p.
