 Lacey Green FC have had a good Start to the season on reflection, but this team could not be created, maintained, or function without the efforts and hard work of others.

 Where do I start?! First, all the people at The Lacey Green and Loosley Row Sports Club, who have given their trust for us to organise such a team. They have worked closely with us to ensure we get off to the best possible start second, a major thanks to our team sponsors for this year. Home Sponsors Duncan and Shakira at [[The Pink and Lily]], and our Away sponsors, Lynne, Tony and Ian at [[The Black Horse]] in Lacey Green have been phenomenal in their support for Lacey Green FC, and cannot be more appreciative of their financial, kind will and gestures so far this season.

 '''Hallmark September 1991.'''  Report by Ron Fisher.   As usual, Lacey Green FC were hosts to a local 5-a-side championship which was won by Mike Keen Sports, regular finalists in this event.   The 1st XI won the first three games of the season and drew the fourth. A good tough game, unfortunately marred by an accident sustained by our captain Rupert 'Bear' Hawthorne, who broke his arm in the first half. We wish him a speedy recovery.

 But what has given us all great pleasure is seeing a beautifully turned out team of Juniors, now a regular fixture in the club, playing in the Wycombe Star League's under 16's.  Sponsored by the Pink & Lily in a smart green and yellow kit, they turned their backs on the first outing defeat to trounce the opposition on the second showing.  Welcome to their very effective manager, Steve.

 '''Hallmark May 1995.'''  report by Audrey Goodwin.  The football season is now drawing to a close with only one or two matches remaining to be played. The first team will have finished about half-way down High Wycombe Combination League and the Reserves enjoyed playing!

 '''Hallmark 2008'''   Report by Ben Foster.   With other wins against Booker FC and The Hour Glass FC of 2-1 and 3-1 respectively, an unfortunate, if not controversial 2-1 loss on the doorstep of Wooburn Falcons, and an unlucky 1st Round Cup exit against Division 4 side Villagers FC 2-0, we find ourselves with mixed emotions. Out of the cup, are we going up? It all seems too close to call at the time of the season. The team are beginning to grow stronger mentally and physically every week, new members are joining and are strengthening the squad no end. We've caught our first glimpses of Sunday league football, all that needs to be done is to stay focused and make sure we go out every week wanting those three points.

 '''Hallmark January 1988'''. The Saturday side are having a good first session lying 3rd in their division.  Sundays' firsts are also doing well having played and won all their 10 matches and although they were beaten in the final rounds of the Berks & Bucks Cup they are through to the Quarter Finals of the Combination Cup.
 The second team are still struggling but are hoping with three new players their fortunes may improve.
