SPOTLIGHT ON FEMALES IN FOOTBALL WITH LANE COVE FC The winter season is off to a spectacular start with a new Lane Cove Football Club Board, ready to focus this year on key initiatives to invigorate LCFC’s community spirit. You can expect some great events this season as a result of LCFC partnerships with new and returning local sponsors, and LCFC’s work alongside Northern Suburbs Football Association. In our local area and beyond, all eyes are on the Matildas as they begin their World Cup race to gold. One key focus this year for LCFC is to encourage more girls and women into football and support them when they join. Football NSW has aligned this year’s Female Football Week with the launch of the Women’s World Cup and LCFC is following suit by getting behind Female Football Week at a club level. Female Football Week will be celebrated from May 25 to June 2, and Lane Cove Football Club will host a LCFC Female Club Celebration on the Sunday Game Day at Blackman on June 2. With help from our 2019 sponsors, our girls and women will showcase their skills in a Blackman Park match day for most teams, plus BBQ and other surprises from our friends at NSFA – do we hear cross-bar challenge? Internally, the Club will organise a week of fun for our teams with the return of the fluoro-themed night, Girls and Women’s teams mentor session and a Women’s Skills Workshop in partnership with NSFA.
