Our annual club person of the year award will now be permanently named after Kevin Gristwood. A fitting tribute to a man who was a selfless clubman for so long.
Also we will be hosting an invitational memorial game to Kev during next pre-season. More details will follow.
We are very sad to hear of the passing of Swan Inn landlord Dave Hipperson. Dave was a great host, supporter and sponsor of LSFC for the best part of 25 years. Our thoughts are with his family.
