Sheen Lions Girls Win The Molesey Plate

Sheen Lions Girls U9 put in some dazzling performances to win a trophy at their first ever tournament.

On Monday 31st May Bank Holiday the Lionesses won the plate competition at the Molesey Tournament, competing well against traditionally strong teams such as Croydon and Molesey themselves.

Girls football at Sheen Lions has developed over the last few seasons with training sessions led by qualified coaches on Sheen Common on Saturday mornings. The group now caters for girls aged 6 to 10 and embraces all standards of player.

In the 2010-2011 season, the Lionesses will be organised into an U10 squad for School years 4 and 5 and an U8 squad for School years 2 and 3. For more information contact Bob Ukiah (ukiah@sheenlions.com).

Sheen Lions U13 Win Wandgas Tournament

U13 Squads at Wandgas

Well done to the 16 boys who represented Sheen Lions U13 on Sunday 6th June. There was great spirit and a fantastic team dynamic. Once again we demonstrated the quality and depth of the squads.

Despite the fact the two Sheen Lions teams were in the same group we managed to eliminate the host team Wandgas, who have just reached the Premier Elite and get both teams into the semi final.

Unfortunately not quite the Sheen Lions v Sheen Lions final we strived for but this week we were able to win the cup with an excellent 3-0 victory in the final against Ruislip and continue our remarkable record of 13 finals in the last 14 five/six a-side competitions. 

This made it three out of three finals for the U13 this summer and a second Cup, following success at Claygate and runners up at Molesey.
