We are always seeking new players. Players of all backgrounds and all levels of experience are welcome — even if you’re new to the game. NLL field 3 teams in the AFL London Football League. Our club is located in Regents Park, Central London, which is where we train twice a week. We play home games at Bounds Green in North London, which has the best facilities in the League. If you fancy coming down for a run ( read more)

Round 6...
There was a BYE for the 1sts and 2nds, whilst the 3rds were due to travel to Nottingham to take on Nottingham and Manchester. Unfortunately we could not get the required number of players together, so we had to pull out, which was a great disappointment to everybody.

Round 7...
The firsts and thirds are away to Wimbledon, whilst the super seconds have another rest. Boys, make sure you get along to training to keep the fitness up.

Wimbledon are located at Sir Joseph Hood Memorial Playing Fields, Motspur Park

The 2009 team photo
has now been taken with quite a piss-up afterwards. Clarence was disguised as a whistle; Seehorse smashed his way out of the loo; and Chrissy Rea executed a perfect backwards fall towards the end of the evening. Photos will be available soon for purchase at 10 squid a pop.

2009 Reverse Raffle
Sunday the 14th saw the 2009 Reverse Raffle go off a treat at the Farringdon Slug and Lettuce. Congratulations to Seahorse, Sugar and Woody who formed a syndicate and took out the thousand pounds. Blog and photos will be posted soon.

Footy Trip!
This year's end of season footy trip is to... wait for it... somewhere off the coast of Spain... that's right! It's IBEEFA!!! So save up your clams as you are required to attend and go a little bit stupid! It's only 100 quid for accomodation for a week and this includes breakfasts and dinners. Dates are from Sep 02 to 07. Organise your own flights and pay 100 to Fernee for accomodation. There are limited spots on the trip, so pay your money to Fernee and book you flights as soon as possible to avoid disappointment!!!

Plenty more events to come.
For a full list, see the Lions Den

Training has now begun and will continue every Tuesdsay and Thursday until we take out the flag in August. Come down and get amongst it!

Meet about 200m from the hub at Regent's Park, 6pm every Tuesday and Thursday. When you come down, do not confuse us with the Swans, who decided a couple of years back that they would try to muscle in on our home of 20 years, Regent's Park.

Make a big effort to get down, and increase you chances of getting a spot on one of the teams.

This Year The Brit Cup will be held on Sat 4th July at Reading.
The Brit Cup is a comp between the Brit and EU players from each club.
Our boys are revved up to win this year's comp.
But they need you to help out.
We are looking for assistants to help out on the day, plus a head coach from the day.
If you are able to help, please get in touch with Crackers or Timmy Ross.
Get behind the boys and...
CAR'N THE LIONS!!!

What's Keysey been up to this week?

Keysey. He was right into it at the reverse raffle. He was charged with being part of the show and duley dressed up as the wicked witch (he loves dressing as a lady). But rather than help, he just helped himself... to the free champers. Like a sprinter in a marathon he was shagged by the quarter turn. When asked to help out, he just fell over. By the the time the last ten was being drawn, he had slipped off his chair and was curled up in a ball on the floor. Still with his green makeup on, he continued to party until nearly 9pm. Most guys could recover a monday morning work situation... but not Keysey - come the morn, he was still looking and feeling a little green. So upon waking, he asked his mate Kappa, a reputed upstanding fella if he looked ok to go to work. "Yeah mate" was the answer, and Kaps rolled over and went back to sleep. So Keysey, who I may mention now is colour blind, turns up to work. Upon presenting himself, his boss took one look at him and said....
"go and get that green sh*t off your face, ya fool!"
Oh keysey, we love you!

Since then, he's been up to more of his old tricks. On Friday night (actually 4am on Saturday morning), I got a text from fridge telling me that he was about to fall asleep on the tiles of his kitchen floor after being locked out again by Keysey rooting a chick on his bed.

On Sunday, I got a text from Sarsy at 3pm telling me that Keysey was still asleep on his couch after their day out (the previous day) at Royal Ascot. Good effort mate! What's more, after getting his 4th replacement phone this year, he managed to drop it down the dunny.

(in the voice of Peter Griffin - Family Guy)
Do you know what really grinds my gears?
THOSE PEOPLE WHO WEAR SUNGLASSES INSIDE!
I mean... what?! Are you trying to protect your eyes from the harsh glare
of the sun while you’re inside? There’s NO SUN INSIDE, PEOPLE! You’re
walking around, in the tube, or in the mall, wearing your sunnies trying to
look cool – WELL YOU DON’T! You just look stupid. And it’s
dangerous. You could walk into a wall or a door or trip over because YOU
CAN’T SEE WHERE YOU’RE GOING! It used to be just Italian people who did
it, but now it seems to be anyone.
And that! Is what really grinds my gears!

Boys, if you've not yet paid your subs, the price is now 40 quid. Game fees are cheaper for members, get on board as soon as possible. See Timmy Ross, Fridge, Chrissy Rea, Trav Fernee or Bobcat.
