U8 Lions Win At St Georges Park
U8 One Tournament St Georges Park
Cast your mind back to late June (when England were halfway through their glorious toils in Russia) but more significantly for the club – this was the last competitive set of games or tournament for the U8 Lions, (now U9 Lions).
The club were kindly invited to participate in the One Tournament, a leading national competition, bringing teams from all over England together, to play at the Home of the National Team…St Georges Park.
Against this splendid backdrop and super impressive facilities – the U8 Sheen Lions team took to the task in hand well, where despite losing the first game (1-nil) – to side from Coventry, we went on to beat teams from Stoke, Grantham, Leeds, Manchester and Liverpool in the other group games.
It was fair to say, the squad of 10 all contributed to play some fast, quick, attacking football, where in one game of 15 minutes, we managed to score 6 goals against one team, who just couldn’t get the ball off the Lions….in full throttle. This helped our all important goal difference and mean’t we qualified for the semi-finals to play a strong side from Manchester – whom we beat 2-1 in a closely fought, nail-biting tie.
So, out of the 12 teams from all over the country we were now in the final against a leading Liverpool side… LN2. Again the team worked very hard and we managed to sneak in a fine 1-nil result, in a very close game.
Proud to say, we won our first cup, in only the second tournament we’d played in competitively. On a sporting note, I was proud of how the Lions comforted the losing side (you forget how young they are sometimes!)
The team collected their silverware and celebrated here ..
Ironically, on leaving St Georges, we bumped into the team from Coventry who humorously laid claim to the fact that as they were the only team to beat the Lions – they’d won the tournament !
A few of the dads celebrated hard with a shandy in the local pub in Burton on Trent before the team headed back off on their 128 mile trek back to London – with a smile on our faces and first trophy in the boot.
It was a great way to end the season and super result for the team and proud parents. Now for this season ..
Thanks Coach Chris and Damian

U6 and U7 At Westside
U6 and U7 Westside
Twenty five promising young Sheen Lions players had the opportunity to play against three very good Westside teams today. With one squad of U6’s and three squads of U7’s.
All players were able to apply their knowledge and understanding of what they have been working on over the past few month’s and use them in game situations. The boys were able to play within a team (the majority playing for the first time against opposition), with everyone playing extremely well.
Head Coach Michael said “Thanks to coach Sam, Dom and Ryan all players over the last 7 weeks have come on leaps and bounds, but still have a lot of learning and developing to do during the rest of the season”.

Player Registration From Mid July 2018
To play for one of our teams in the Surrey Youth League players first have to Register with Sheen Lions. You will receive an email invite to Register and enter your details into our on-line form. After this, once you have paid your fees you have completed registration with the Club.
The Club will then register the player with the Surrey Youth League. To do this we need from you two passport quality photos and both the player and a parent’s signature on a Surrey Youth League registration form. If you are new to Sheen Lions we also need a photocopy of your Proof Of Age document. Detailed requirements for all these documents are explained in the Registration Guidelines attached to your email invitation.
There is an initial intensive stage to establish the teams during which signatures and photos are collected by your manager onto a single SYL Team Registration document. The Club Secretary then takes these documents to a “Registration Evening” clinic to be accepted and processed by the SYL. It is a considerable amount of work to prepare all these documents so that they pass scrutiny and this is why it is so important that people deal with registrations quickly.
Fees
Please make sure you settle your fees at the time of registering. The fees are the only real commitment, and without commitment Sheen Lions cannot in turn commit to the resources such as coaches and training facility hire that are needed.
If you are unsure whether you have paid login and check your own bank account, please do not ask us to check our account to save you this work. Of course we will at some point let you know if you have overlooked fees.
Age Group U6 and U7
These age groups are not registered with the League and so do not need to do anything other than register with the Club and pay their fees.
Age Group U8
Age group U8 will registered in September. At the start of September you will be reminded to prepare your Photos and copy Proof of Age. You will have to bring these and a parent to Saturday Training to hand in when you sign the Team Registration sheet.
Age Groups U9 and Up
For age groups U9 and up Team Registration Documents have now been submitted.
Now that team registrations have been submitted there is a different process to Register a player with the Surrey Youth League. You will have to follow this process if you are now registering with the Club or if your manager has informed you that you were not registered with the rest of your team.
Parent and Player have to sign an Individual Registration Form. You need to print a copy, sign it and send it with your photos and copy proof of age directly to the Club Secretary. Detailed instructions are on your Registration Confirmation email that you receive after completing your Sheen Lions registration.
The Surrey Youth League does not release the form and will not process Individual Registrations until Mid August so you might have to wait to send those documents in. HOWEVER you should not delay in entering your Sheen Lions Registration or paying your fees. We need this commitment from you otherwise we may allocate your place to someone else. This is why the invite says “reply within 10 days”.
Age Group U18
There are special arrangements.

Football Boots Wanted 2018
Parents
Once again we are supporting Lord Taveners in their effort to collect unwanted football boots. They ensure they are donated to deserving causes both in the UK and developing countries.
I’m sure with the new season coming, and the boys growing all the time, new boots will be bought. Please donate your old ones. All sizes are welcome.
We just ask that they are in good condition and CLEAN please!!!
If you can do this BEFORE you disappear on holiday it would be really helpful but it should be no later that the end of July so we can meet The Lord Taveners deadline for collection. We have extended this into September.
You can drop them off at the following address on your travels. Please put them in the white cupboard in the side of the house.
16 Stanley Road
East Sheen
London SW14 7DZ
Many thanks

Sheen Lions U7 Manorcroft Tournament 2018
The U7’s played in the Manorcroft Tournament on Saturday May 26th.
I’m gutted I can’t tell you the results due to it being non competitive but what I can tell you is that Anthony & I were very proud of the boys especially after my request to put them into a group of league players.
When the other managers found out that we were not in a league they were astonished.
“I chose to play against league players to challenge the boys & they passed with flying colours”.
The future is bright for this age group. A big thanks must go out to their coaches James / Matt / Anthony & Alex.
Michael.
