Farewell to Darren
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
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.
Dave Hardie added to Where Are They Now? page
Original Lions’ team member Dave Hardie has been in touch and I’ve added a bit about him to the Where Are They Now? page of the Team History section (new entries are at the bottom of the page).
