Expansion At Palewell

After discussion with the London Borough of Richmond; from the 2011/12 season Sheen Lions will use Palewell Park for all their matches and training. Mini football matches and training previously located at Sheen Common will move to Palewell. This will allow Sheen Lions to consolidated its activities and allow the LBRUT to improve the cricket facilities at Sheen Common. We may still use the 11-a-side pitch at Sheen Common on exceptional occasions.

LBRUT will be reconfiguring the Palewell pitches so we have mini soccer pitches on the space that is currently pitch 1 and to include a new 9 v 9 pitch needed for U11 football next season. Areas will designated for Saturday training to allow space for Sheen Lions and other current users of Palewell.

Once the current refurbishment work at Palewell is complete we will have storage facilities available and Mangers will no longer have to store and transport corner posts and nets.

Sunday 6th March – Palewell

Sunday 6th March it will be the end of an era. The U18s are the senior team at our club and this season’s U18s play their last HOME game on Palewell Common at 12.30.

Many of these boys have been together for since U8; with 7 of the original 11 boys still in the squad of 18. Some boys have now completed over 250 games for Sheen Lions.

If they win this match and their final away game on 13th March then they will win the Premier Elite. It is very tight; if Kew Association can also win their remaining three matches then it will be decided for Sheen on the aggregate scores in their head to head matches. Neither team can afford to slip.

Our Club Secretary, Sarah Street is very keen to celebrate this occasion and would like as many of the Club’s players and parents to come to the game on 6th March to support. The U8 and U9 teams will provide a guard of honour.
