History

The club was founded in late December 2018, and gained a cult following within a small group of pupils of Penrice Academy, known as RJ. The traction that was well earnt thanks to captain, Tom Tate and the early partnership of Wong Wing and Wing Wong led to early success, with division titles in their first two seasons. It was in Division 8 the Stokes remained until late January, where the Stokes began the recruitment process to meet the demands of semi professional football. Additions included The Bux, Callum Adams and Kaziah Sterling, all joining on permanent deals. With the club looking to invest in growth and hoping to crack the Silver Divisions, the Stokes form deteriorated upon the arrival of their new players, falling as far as Division 10 once again. In a strange coincidence that rattled the footballing landscape to its core, the day the Stokes got relegated, striker Callum Adams tragically passed away after losing a rap battle to a frustrated supporter. His terrible form was surely to be missed, with a record of 3 goals in 31 appearances for the club. The lack of a true striker highlighted the Stokes' need for a replacement, and on February 19th, Mr Stokes City announced the purchase of Jermaine 19enis from Tottenham Hotspur. 19enis was in the stands that evening, watching what turned out to be one of the Stokes' greatest games. On the final day of the Division 10 season, the Stokes needed a point to tip promotion back into Division 9. Falling a goal behind early on, captain Kaziah Sterling netted an equaliser in the 80th minute, and 14 minutes later, BOT Nico Schulz bagged one of the iconic goals in the history of the club, an overhead kick to seal promotion.
