I am pleased to be able to inform you that former Lions player, Faye Marsh, has been called up to the Great Britain University representative squad for the World University Games.
Faye is hoping that a good performance and a good run in the competition, will help her push for a regular place with Arsenal Ladies 1st team squad and possibly an International call up.
CHLFC will follow the progress of the squad and Faye,and we all wish her every success.

It is with deep sadness that I have to inform you that Liam lost his battle against cancer on the afternoon of June 30th.
Liam, a Life Vice President of CHLFC, was an inspiration and ideal role model to everybody.
Our thoughts are with his family at this sad time. RIP Liam

Congratulations to Janet Mills and Charlotte Dickson, two Lion’s committee members, who undertook a 10k Race for Life on Sunday 28th June.
They completed the run in 57 min 51 secs, which was a very good time bearing in mind the heat yesterday, well done girls.
Hopefully teams and individuals can help this charity by sponsoring them.

Cherry Hinton Lions attended a meeting this evening at Cambs FA Headquarters with a view to entering a senior team in the BIS League on a Saturday. At the conclusion of the meeting we were informed that we had been accepted, and were formally welcomed.
Just for the record, we have also been accepted intob the VB Trophies Sunday League too.
It only remains for the players to decide which day they prefer to play on. So we are on track to obtain Charter Standard Community Club by December 2009.

With the final result being 2 - 0 to Torquay, the United supporters head home very disappointed. The fans did their bit, it was United who let themselves down. Too many wasted passes and not enough shots on goal, they didn’t seem to believe in their ability. Oh well, another season in the Conference.

Hiya, we are on a coach heading to Wembley to watch Utd take on Torquay. There are a few Lions personnel on this coach, but there will be many others making their way to Wembley. The Club hopes that former Lion Josh Coulson is part of the squad. Watch out for further reports.

What a great game this turned out to be, a fitting end to the season. It was a game that the Lions could so easily have won, they certainly made Rowdies work hard for the points. Every player on the Lions team gave an outstanding performance, showing just how far this squad has come on in the past couple of months. Well done boys, you can be very proud of yourselves for the way you have performed, I know that the Club is proud of you all. Now let’s all build on this and we can all look forward to next season.
The final result was Lions 2 v 4 Rowdies, with Rowdies fourth goal coming in the last couple of seconds.

In their last game of the season, the team was forced to change it’s venue and played at Cherry Hinton Rec.
After a great start to the match, Lions took the lead, with Rowdies equalising shortly after. Half time score 1 - 1.

After a great display by the boys in their final match of the season, sadly they could not overcome Stretham and lost 2 - 3
