14th April 2020 Update

The National FA have called a halt to the 2019/2020 season. It is effectively over. We appreciate the massive disappointment this will cause our players and indeed 13,000 plus players in the league. Whilst that can never be underestimated these are unprecedented times and call for unprecedented measures.

While you are waiting try to stay fit, healthy and safe. Our coaches are generating lots of videos to help you. http://sheenlions.com/sheen-lions-coaches-on-instagram/
