Lions Pre-season round 2 - Wi******er (A), Sat 17 Aug

After a strong showing at the Grasshoppers pre-season mini tournament on Saturday 10 August, where the Lions emerged as the top team (W3, D1, L0) and claimed some silverware, the team headed to Wi******er RFC on Saturday 17 August with high hopes for their second of three pre-season games.

This match had added significance, as it marked a reunion with their former captain, Angus Adamson, who now plays for Wi******er. Unfortunately, the Lions couldn't replicate the victory from three years ago when they last faced them in a pre-season friendly. This time, the Lions went down 57-17 to a well-prepared and sharp Wi******er side. Whereas it was clear this was a warmup game for the Lions, with some rustiness being shaken off in the shape of some uncharacteristic mistakes from players, Wi******er looked extremely sharp from the first whistle to the last – it looked like a mid-season performance from a very settled team from them. Despite being competitive and scoring in all three thirds with players rotating throughout, some unfortunately due to injury, the Lions couldn't match Wi******er's power and precision across the field – from what was faced at the weekend the Lions expect them to do very well in their league this season.

A big thanks to Wi******er RFC for hosting us both on and off the field, it’s always a pleasure travelling to their club. It’s currently one win each, so we look forward to round 3 whenever that may be!

Next up for the Lions is their third and final pre-season game away against Reeds Weybridge on Saturday 31 August; following that their league kicks off away at Aylesbury on Saturday 7 September.

Ahh, it's good to be back!

What a great start to the 24/25 season in the Grasshoppers pre-season tournament - the Lions squad went up against 4 opposition in 4x 20 min games and came away with W3, D1, L0 - and some unexpected silverware! Hopefully we can kick on and make the coaches look even happier next weekend!

Thanks to for organising the event at their brilliant venue.

Also, a massive welcome to all the new Lions players - welcome to the LS Pride! 🦁
