Lewes Football Club Revisited

DSC_5097.jpg

I’m documenting Lewes FC during their home games this season. Not so much the action because that’s covered by the superb James Boyes, but the experience of female athleticism, excellence in sport and comradeship

Glamour is something you want to look at. Often ascribed to fashion I would say it exists where human potential is being realised and things are as good as they can be

Humans bodies have evolved over millenia to the point of being extraordinary, enduring, capable of feats of balance and power that go beyond our need of it. The team experience, when it works, is one of the most glorious aspects of being human as self is discarded and each member of the team tunes into the other as musicians or dancers do to make something that transcends its parts.

All this exists within a football game as does the glamour that is inherently female, grace, beauty of form, liquidity of movement.

All this happens at The Dripping Pan in Lewes when Lewes are playing.

On Saturday 2nd November at 2pm Lewes FC is playing Chelsea. Come and support Lewes, it will make a difference.

Let’s get our town behind our girls
