Lindfield Firsts are the club’s engine room , the squad that turns up, rolls their sleeves up, and refuses to be anyone’s easy three points. We’re not built on fancy signings or big money; we’re built on lads who actually care about the badge, fight for each other, and know exactly what it means to graft on a cold Saturday.
We play football the Lindfield way: sharp on the ball, organised without it, and dangerous when we decide to crank up the tempo. One minute we’re pinging it around like Brighton, next minute we’re scrapping for a second ball like it’s life or death, whatever gets the job done.
Half the team grew up playing together. The rest were dragged in because they could either finish, tackle, or run through a brick wall. It’s a group with personality — the calm heads, the wind-up merchants, the human Duracell batteries, and the occasional maverick who scores something outrageous when nobody expects it.
What makes the First Team different is the mentality. We don’t shy away when it gets tough. We don’t disappear after going a goal down. We don’t quit because the pitch is dry, wet, frozen, 3G, or just plain cursed. This squad digs in, reacts, and usually finds a way.
Whether it’s a derby, a cup tie, or a long-away game that nobody wanted, the Firsts show up with the same attitude:
Work hard, play fast, compete for everything, and leave the pitch with no regrets.
