LFF Newsletter - 21st May 2026

Another great week here at Lewis’s Football Fun! ⚽️

We had a few matches take place this weekend, starting with Rhinos vs Dragons. This was a brilliant game to be involved in, with Dragons coming away 3-1 winners. The game stayed close right until the final kick, and all of the children involved should be proud of themselves. A fantastic experience for everyone involved.

On Sunday, we held our Bring a Friend Week at Avengers, and it was absolutely brilliant from start to finish. Alongside plenty of technical work and development throughout the session, we also had a fantastic mini tournament for the Avengers players, which everyone really enjoyed. The energy, effort, and teamwork on show were excellent.

The Dads vs Coaches match was another huge highlight of the day! It was great entertainment for the children, parents, and supporters watching, and brilliant for the dads and coaches to be involved in too. Plenty of laughs, some quality goals, and a great atmosphere all round. We even topped the day off with a great time together afterwards as well. That’s exactly what Lewis’s Football Fun is all about — football, fun, friendships, and creating memories.

On Monday, another two matches took place:

Panthers A vs Tigers and Panthers B vs Vipers.

Two more excellent matches, with match reports still to follow. Well done to everyone involved.

Our regular sessions also continued throughout the week, with some fantastic ability and attitudes on display. Every coach returned with really positive feedback, and we’re excited to continue helping every child improve, grow in confidence, and enjoy their football journey.

We look forward to many more great matches and events ahead. If you haven’t had the chance to be involved yet, there will be plenty more opportunities in the future, so please get in touch.

A reminder regarding Presentation Night tickets — we now need to push these as tickets will only be on sale for another week. Please contact us as soon as possible to secure yours.

Finally, thank you to everyone for your incredible support throughout the year. Please continue supporting us as we continue supporting your children to improve, have fun, and create lifelong memories.
