This is the official page of Lewes FC's women's 1st Team who play in the FA Women’s Championship.

Lewes FC Women was established in 2002 and is an integral part of its parent club. Lewes FC itself was established in 1885 in a meeting at The Royal Oak public house in Lewes. The club has created a strong local, regional and national brand. It is a club that is helping to pioneer fan & community ownership and also leads the way in how transparently it operates. As a not-for-profit community benef

it society the club also has the advantage of its fans, owners and sponsors knowing that every penny of revenue goes back into the club to support its various teams and all the community work it does. Lewes FC Women have in the last few years, made a meteoric rise in the women’s game. The Rooks (as they are affectionately known) have won seven trophies since they were formed back in 2002. The team started playing in the South East Counties football league and within a ten year period climbed through the pyramid and finally won promotion to the FA women’s premier league from the south east combination league in 2011/12. It was an incredible season in which they won the league by a margin of 15 points and went undefeated. In 2012/13 the team finished a very respectable 5th in their debut season in the FA women’s premier league and then improved on their points tally by a margin of seven, finishing in 6th spot. Since 2018 the team have played in the second highest tier of English women’s football, the FA Women’s Championship. Currently they sit mid-table and are fully pro training during the days. Lewes Women have and continue to attract quality players from around the country and abroad. This is due in equal measure to increasing success on the pitch, a welcoming club atmosphere and great team spirit as well as a reputation for being player-centric. There is a strong backroom Team, which includes a quality coaching team, a sports therapist, psychologist, physiotherapist, and a strength and conditioning coach. It is important that the Players have a great environment to help them perform to their best. Their ambition for this, and every, season is to improve on last season’s performance. With a talented squad, a committed management and coaching team and solid backing from both the club and its community they are confident of continuing that improvement. The club’s women’s section includes a pathway comprising the Development Squad, the Under 18s, Under 16s, and Under 14s. There are over 100 female players who play in a Lewes FC shirt and we envision a thriving pathway for our club. Web Site: - www.lewesfc.com

Our Story

Lewes FC Women was established in 2002 (as Lewes Ladies FC) and is an integral part of its parent club: Lewes fc. The club has created a strong local, regional and, to some extent, national brand. It is a club that is helping to pioneer fan & community ownership and also leads the way in how transparently it operates.

As a not-for-profit community benefit society the club also has the advantage of its fans, owners and sponsors knowing that every penny of revenue goes back into the club to support its various teams and all the community work it does. Lewes FC is embarking on a new facilities project which will include a new 3G training facility which will be up and running early next year.

Lewes have in the last few years, made a meteoric rise in the women’s game. The Rookettes (as they have become affectionately known) have won seven trophies since they were formed back in 2002.

In 2012/13 the team finished a very respectable 5th in their debut season in the FA women’s premier league and last season improved on their points tally by a margin of seven, finishing in 6th spot.

In 2018 Lewes applied to and were accepted into the FA Women’s Championship, the restructured second tier of the women’s game in England.

Lewes continue to attract quality players from around the region and beyond. This is due in equal measure to increasing success on the pitch, a welcoming club atmosphere and great team spirit as well as a reputation for being player centric.
