Recon sponsored Village Manchester Football club are on their way home from the IGLFA World Championships which ran from 24-29 September in Beunos Aires, Argentina.
It was the first time the Championships have been held in South America and home advantage would ultimately prove to be the deciding factor on where the trophy would go with host nation Argentina winning the final 1-0 against London Stonewall FC.
The lads from VMFC did themselves proud only losing 2 games, one against the eventual winners in an earlier group match and the other in the quarter final against 3rd place runners up San Francisco.
Terrific performances against Seattle, Dublin and Atlanta in the group stages and a 3-0 victory against Uruguay in the knockout stages ensured that VMFC striker Stu Johnson (pictured above) also picked up the covetted ´Golden Boot´award for being the competition top scorer, netting 14 goals in total, something everyone at the club is extremely proud of.
The team will now return to the UK and pick up their domestic league season on Sunday which sees them defending their recent Manchester Sunday League title and will look forward to competing in next years IGLFA World Cup which is due to be held in London.
