"Proud to be Pelican"
  
An amalgamation between Pelican FC and Bilborough FC in 2005 forged an outfit fit enough to challenge for major honours in the Central Midlands League. Since forming in 1984, Pelican became one of the strongest Amateur sides in the county winning silverware in the Notts Amateur League and twice winning the Notts Alliance Senior Division (in 1995 and 2002) After joining the CML with similar success the side merged with NAA outfit Bilborough (established since 1994) with a view to improving their Birchover Park ground and forging their way up the non league Pyramid. With proposed re-development hitting a stand-still however. The side faced eviction from the CML and joined the NSL in 2007.In 2009 the senior side won the NSL Senior Division title. and the under 11 colts won the YEL league cup. Between the Bilborough FC, Pelican FC, Bilborough Pelican FC and Pelican Colts clubs, we have collectively won over 100 trophies since the early 90's. This makes the club one of the most succesfull units ever in the history of Nottinghamshire football. A unit which has born dozens of successfull players plying their trade professionally at the top levels. Pictured below is former colt and current Forest midfielder Matt Thornhill.

OUR NEXT MATCH
Tuesday 9th FEB 2010 7.30pm under lights
Nottinghamshire Senior League
Pelican v Bulwell
last time
Saturday 6th FEB 2010 2.30pm
Nottinghamshire Senior League
Cotgrave MW 1 V Pelican 0
HT 0-0
PELICAN 1st team crashed out to a second successive defeat at Woodview today. Cotgrave's hitman Lee Penley scoring a second half free kick to give welfare the only goal of the game. An under par Pelican missed out when Liam Thompson had a penalty saved by keeper Matt Worster. Injury worries have become an issue as both Neil Thompson and James Allen had to leave the field after picking up heavy knocks. Great battling game in which Cotgrave manager Mark Turners physio bucket kicked the bucket, just one of several comedy moments, beaten only by keeper Worsters girly scream when he got taken out by Dave Udah.
