Club badge

The club badge is a shield which houses the image of a stone bridge and three chickens or cockerels. The shield is topped by a red dragon and a scroll with the team name lies beneath the shield. The badge reflects the town name, which roughly translates to the 'Road of the chicken', and also lends to the team nickname, 'The Cockerels'.
