Hi there, Cherry Hinton Lions will be needing a new secretary at the end of the current season. I feel that after 10 years in the post, it is time for someone else to undertake the role.
Anybody interested in taking on the position please contact myself in the first instance at dave.heron@chlfc.co.uk I am fully prepared to help out anyone who takes the post on, but I will not be standing for election as Secretary myself.
I look forward to hearing from you, ideally the new secretary needs to in ready by the end if April as affiliations for the 2010/2011 season need to be submitted by June 1st 2010.

On Saturday 27th February, CHLFC entered two teams in an Endurance Race in memory of Liam Fairhurst, and in aid of CLIC Sargent.
Out of 15 teams, the Lions finished 10th and 11th. Team 1 consisting of Danny, Hayden, and Jack of the U16b, Matt and Darren from the U15b and Callum Fairhurst managed to complete 97 laps in 2 hours, to finish 10th.
Team 2, comprising of Phil Hampshire ( President ), Dave Dickson ( Fixture Secretary ), Josh from the U16b, Phil Doncaster ( representing the U9 ), Matt Hampshire ( representing the Lions Senior team ) and former Lions manager Mike Nash who stepped in at very short notice to make up the numbers.
I would like to express my grateful thanks to all those who drove, and to those who made the trip to Red Lodge to show their support. Everybody had a great day, and as this is going to be an annual event, all have expressed an interest in being involved again.
Now all we have to do is get all the sponsorship monies in prior to April 1st, so please all dig deep to aid this great charity and the memory of Liam, our Life Vice President. Thanks

It has been a good start to the weekend for the Lions teams in action today, and as a bonus the weather has been sunny and dry.
I have been unable to get out and about myself this morning, but the roving reporters have been working well.
The Under 8 squad were away at Cambourne and managed an impressive 3 – 11 win, well done all.
In the absence of John, the Under 9 squad were left in the capable hands of Amanda for their home fixture against Newmarket Town. The feedback from Amanda was that the boys played well and deserved their 8 – 0 win, great stuff.
Finally the Under 13 Girls were in action for the first time in quite some while, due to the recent adverse weather. They played hosts to Comberton Crusaders and managed to pick up another point by holding them to a draw, well done girls.
Let’s hope that our Sunday teams can have similar success tomorrow.

Saturday 27th February sees members of CHLFC going Go Karting, in memory of Liam Fairhurst, and in support of CLIC Sargent.
Liam, who was proud to have been a Life Vice President of the Club, would have turned 15 on the 26th February. So in order to recognise not only his birthday, but his courage and dedication to fund raising for the charity that helped and supported Liam and his family, there is to be a sponsored endurance race.
The Lions have entered two teams into the afternoon session, and anyone wishing to support them are very welcome. Donations can be made to any team manager, plus spectators on the day cheering on the drivers would be great too.
The event is taking place at Red Lodge Karting, with racing starting at 2.30 pm. Apart from remembering Liam, and supporting CLIC Sargent, it should be a great afternoon, hope you can make it.
