Stanley manager John Coleman welcomed the opportunity to participate in the competition saying "Joma and the tournament organisers have done a fantastic job in putting the event together and we are looking forward to travelling down in Juy. It is always good to get away for a short while pre-season, to get the side physically ready for the new campaign and also to bond them together as a team.
