Lions sign two new players

By on 4 October 2006 in News, Players

We’re very pleased to announce that the squad has been strengthened by the signing of Andy Watt and Ben “Marshall” Williams, both from Milton Keynes. Andy used to train with the Lions back in the days of Steve James. We’d still like to see other British outfield players. If that’s you, please get in touch and we’ll arrange for you to try out.

Photos of Paul Grech & Rob McCaig

By on 30 September 2006 in Nostalgia, Players

I was recently contacted by Mike Southway, a fan of the original Lions. He’s kindly sent me scans of a couple of photos he has of Paul Grech and one of Rob McCaig – these guys were great favourites with the Lions’ fans back in the 90s.

I’ve added all three photos to the History section of the site and my thanks go to Mike for contributing.

Farewell to Darren

By on 23 August 2006 in News, Players

We are sad to announce that last year’s Captain, Darren Wakeling, is unable to play for the Lions this season. His new job requires him to work Saturdays and he’s about to become a father again so understandably, he’s had to pull out.

We wish Darren and his family lots of luck and happiness for the future.

Gary Dodds’ testimonial match

By on 19 August 2006 in News, Nostalgia, Players

Haringey Greyhound Gary Dodds used to play for the original Lee Valley Lions back in the 90s. After 10 years with the ‘Hounds Gary is having a well-deserved testimonial on Sunday 27th August, face-off 5.30pm.

Old school Lions fans might like to pop along as Gary will be playing alongside his old LVL partners in crime, Jon Beckett and Glen Moorhouse (the other one, Neil Stower, is in the USA). With any luck I’ll be there and will post a few pics.
