Here is your complimentary e-programme

Lewes FC Women 2025/26

One last time at The Dripping Pan this season. It has been a brilliant first season under Emma Byrne.

The Rooks look to continue on their incredible run at The Pan and finish on a high. Following the win last Sunday against Billericay Town, we have won 6 out of our last 6 outings at home and have scored a whopping 40 goals.

We currently sit 5th in the league with 34 points and a win today will see us take it to the last game against Oxford United for the 4th place.

A big thank you for all volunteers and fans who have made it a special season.

Message from The Chairman

For the final time this season a very warm welcome to everyone at the Dripping Pan.

Sunday afternoon at the Dripping Pan is the place to be if you want to see attacking football. In our last six home games the Rooks have scored an incredible 40 goals (an average of. 6.6667 goals a game).

This week we have been particularly productive in front of goal with 13 goals scored and counting. Off the back of our 8-0 league victory ovef Billericay the Rooks rocked up at Culver Road on Wednesday where we struck another five goals to retain the Sussex Senior Cup. Many congratulations to our incredible team.

Today we face a tough challenge from play off chasing AFC Bournemouth but we will be as eager as ever to secure all three points as we eye a fourth placed finish.

Whatever the outcome of our last two matches the team have served the club magnificently this season and have established a platform for us to push on next season rejuvenated and with even more vigour. Hopefully we can increase crowds as the product is getting better and better.

A huge thanks to all our players, staff., volunteers, supporters and my fellow board members for all the hard work that goes into making this club so special.

Please stay behind after the game to celebrate with the players on the pitch and for the presentation of awards.

Come on You Rooks
