Tournoi May Bank Holiday Weekend

 

This weekend, LRAFC are proud to host a three-way tournament with our Old Friends St Mary’s Old Boys and their friends from Stuttgart, SG Stern.

SG Stern are the veterans team of the Sports club of Daimler AB, the parent company of Mercedes Benz. All the towns in which Mercedes have factories have a sports club and competitive teams in many sports. The clubs are all called SG Stern followed by the name of the City in which the team is based, so in this case SG Stern Stuttgart. They play at the training ground of the Bundesliga team VFB Stuttgart, in the shadow of their home ground, the Mercedes Benz Arena.
St Mary’s have visited them twice recently, in October 2017 and 2018.

There will be three one hour games, the first kicking off at 12.30pm, with Scouse and Pilsner to follow.
