Wishing all teams luck and a fun journey ahead
The first LCS Wildcats festival for this season happened on Sunday 1st October,
Well done to LCS Yr5, some playing their first game of Football.
Success and End of Season Presentation
Last season was an amazing success story, from the increased numbers of girls attending, increased teams in leagues and friendlies, then ultimately the incredible success in tournaments.
Each age group reached various tournament finals and i believe a total of 7 trophies were won across the ages.
LCS must be doing something right!
The U9's (Now U10's) took a tour down South and stayed at Butlins, Bognor Regis for a few days.
They competed and Won the ESF 2023 South Trophy.
Soon after they were invited to
St. George's Park National Football Centre, home of the England National team.
There, LCS competed in a tournament against the top teams, for their age across the country and came 3rd.
It was an amazing experience for the girls, what an achievement!!
Thank you to all the parents involved, incredible commitment and continuity.
In July LCS held the end of season presentation at Takely School.
The event took place to acknowledge the clubs achievement throughout the season, to issue trophies and also to say thanks to everyone involved.
Some emotional speeches from the coaches, video presentations and special awards topped off an incredible year.
Thank you to everyone who attended.

Washing match kits
If you have a Match kit, please adhere to the cleaning instructions below after each match:
- Turn shirts inside out
- Wash kit on it's own
- 30 degrees heat
- NON bio powder
NO Fabric conditioner
This will ensure the logos keep well, pink colours stay vibrant and the colour does not run onto your other washing.
If you have a kit and are playing in matches, please keep the kit safe and use when needed.
We do have a list of all kits that are out and will contact you if the kit is needed.
If your daughter will not be playing in matches anymore or if the kit is getting too small please return the kit to Tim.
Please contact Tim Woods directly on 07799881868 if you need a kit for any up and coming matches.
Tim will be able to assist you in procuring the correct sized kit for your daughter/s.
