The team is made up of teachers, labourers and car salesmen were filmed enjoying their trip by the locals before stopping off at the pub.
The players all paid £40 each to hire the bus, and enjoyed the ‘funniest two hours' of their life as a result.

The player-manager, Craig Hunsley, told The Sun: “One of the lads suggested we do it for a laugh if we won the treble.
“I thought we'd all feel a bit silly but it was among the funniest two hours of my life. We had cars following us, beeping their horns and people coming out of shops waving and cheering. It was magic.”
Peter Crouch was one of the many people online to react to the news, replying to a video of the team bus out on the street with the comment: “Spectacular!”
