It was nice not only to see clubs coming from all over the country to the Lincoln City Tournament this weekend but also the winning tropheys going all over the country also.

Chelmsford Tournament - May 9th 2004

Congratulations to all the teams who represented Lincoln City in the Chelmsford Tournament.
We had some fantastic results!

U13s WON their section (giving them 2 firsts and 2 runners-up in just 3 weeks)
U15s were narrowly beaten in their section and finished as runners-up
U12 s finished 3rd
U14s finished 4th

This was the best results ever achieved in a single tournament by the club.
Well done to everyone who took part.

May 2004

Essex Open - May 1st  &
Teagate Tournament May 2nd

Well our new training regime and venue certainly suits the U13s.
We've only been there 2 weeks and they've already reached 3 tournament finals (winning one and  runner's up in the other two).

After last week's success up north at South Shields (where they were runner's up) they were all fired up for this weekend's tournaments down south

At the Essex Open they won the final 10-9 (by a golden goal against Robins).
Then despite a long night of celebrations (so I've been told!!!)  they headed straight for Teagate where they again reached the finals (just losing out to Turnford).

An absolutely fantastic achievement but thoroughly deserved for all their hard work.

The U14s played some fantastic netball all weekend. They were 3rd in their group at Essex and missed out on a medal by a single goal at Teagate. They needed to beat Essex Open but could only manage a 9-9 draw.

The U12s were also in great form. Despite having a key player missing through illness they reached the quarter finals at Essex.


What was also notable was the number of other club coaches who came up to congratulate us on both the standard of our play and the conduct of our players.

Congratulations to everyone involved at the weekend.

Gooooooo LINCOLN!!!!!
