Welcome to The Dripping Pan for today’s FA Women’s National League Southern Premier match against Oxford United.

Here is your complimentary e-programme

Lewes FC Women 2025/26

Hello and welcome to the Dripping Pan to see the Rooks face off against AFC Wimbledon in the FA Women’s National League Southern Premier.

We are delighted to welcome our visitors from Oxford United to The Dripping Pan under the lights!

We hope everyone has a wonderful afternoon!

Message from The Chairman

A very warm welcome to the players, staff, officials and supporters of Oxford United for this afternoon’s match at the Pan and of course the usual warm welcome to the Lewes supporters.

This is the Women’s last league match at the Pan for 2025 as we look to repair the slight dent in our very proud home record where we only tasted defeat a couple of times in the whole of 2025.

This afternoon marks a return to league action after our impressive FA Cup victory at Cheltenham.

The reward for that achievement is an extra game at the Pan before Christmas as we take on Crystal Palace in the third round of the FA Cup on 14 December.

The last time we hosted Palace at the Pan it was a sell out and with the added spice of the cup we expect a bumper crowd again so I would urge you to get your tickets in advance.

Oxford will provide a stern test this afternoon but lets all get behind the team and try and pick up three more league points.

Come on you Rooks
