Saturday Training Moved – Sunday Pitches Closed 8th-9th Feb

Due to the ground conditions Palewell pitches are closed again this weekend. There can be NO TRAINING and NO MATCHES at Palewell on 8th – 9th February.

Sarah has arranged for Saturday morning training to be held at Richmond Park Academy. Training for all age groups (U7 to U11) will take place at the same time between 9:00 and 10:30 am. Note in particular:

  • Gates open at 08:30, be early for a prompt start
  • NO PARKING on site but plenty in Hertford Avenue and surrounding streets.
  • Astro turf pitch, so correct footwear for this surface. Studs are not allowed and you will just slip!
  • Only coaches, managers and players are allowed on the pitch, parents must stay outside the fence.

 

Please note for Sunday matches Managers now need to ask their opposition if they can host the game. You must wait till you hear from your Manager before you know for sure that you are not playing.

New All Weather Boots For Sheen Lions

With so many games lost Sheen Lions will be encouraging all its players to buy new boots that are more suitable for current conditions so we can get some games on.

The recommended boots have the additional advantage of integrated shin pads and guarantee that laces will not come undone during the match.

Sheen Lions U08 Play With QPR

Sheen Lions U08 @QPR

Saturday 16 th November saw Sheen Lions take our U8 groups to play against QPR U8s in a series of matches. The facilities were excellent with the boys warming up and playing on a 4G rubber crumb playing surface which is the nearest thing to playing on a perfect grass surface.

After a quick warm up and instructions from Scott and Geoff both teams proceeded to play against their respective sides. After a quiet start, probably due to the nature of the occasion, the boys really opened up and started to play with a confidence and freedom which we have been accustomed to witnessing at training. There was a multitude of passing patterns, coupled with superb attacking intent and some excellent finishing from a number of different players. On the flip side there was some wonderful defending both individually and collectively which showed a willingness to fight for the Sheen Lions cause!!!

All in all it was an excellent day which the boys thoroughly enjoyed and one they will probably remember for the rest of the footballing careers. It has been such a pleasure to be at the start of their journey and hopefully there will be many more days like this enabling them to develop and have loads of fun at the same time.

See you all at training.

Mr Trevor Hodge

Many thanks to QPR for arranging and hosting the matches. A few weeks ago our boys provided a guard of honour at a QPR first team fixture and this week many of our coaches attended a partnership evening at QPR to see and hear about the QPR academy.

Thanks to all the parents that sent in photos, we are always pleased to get these for the website.

Sheen Lions Boys Are Guard Of Honour At QPR v Derby

Sheen Lions @ QPR v Derby Co

As part of our relationship with QPR a number of Sheen Lions players and parents attended the QPR Derby Championship game on Saturday 2nd November. Our boys formed a guard of honour when the teams came out and got a chance to feel the atmosphere on the pitch before the game.

Even better for our Club Sec. QPR won the game 2-1 and are going well in the Championship.
