FEBRUARY 2011 - The latest team to complete their season at the Britannia Stadium celebrate with passionate IAG supporter Lou Macari and It's a Goal! coach Jerry Lakin...









OCTOBER 2010 - Barnsley Tournament

IAG Stoke accompanied their counterparts from Macclesfield/Manchester to a tournament in Barnsley, Yorkshire arranged to help celebrate World Mental Health Day. On plastic pitches, next door to Barnsley's Oakwell Stadium, the team battled well against tough, more experienced opponents, but gave a good account of themselves. First up were Doncaster React and a 2-4 reverse was closer than the score reflected. A 5-0 thumping of Humber Hotspurs 2 (Grimsby) settled everyone down however and a ding dong battle ensued against the eventual tournament winners, Sheffield 1. Unfortunately, a lack of competitive match practice eventually told and the Stoke lads went down bravely 1-2. This seemed to dishearten the lads a little and they succumbed 1-5 in their final fixture against locals Oakwell Terriers 1. Nevertheless, some vital experience for everyone and a good workout prior to their debut season in the Manchester League. Some form of consolation was earned however as the lads gained a trophy for coming runners up in the team penalty competition.


Action from the clash against Doncaster.
