The Lions have been regular participants in finals football at all 3 levels in AFL London in recent years. Despite coming very close on repeated occasions, the Lions didn't feature in Grand Finals until 2012, when the Premiership team finally took home the big prize again, with a 1-point win over the fast finishing Wandsworth Demons (in a nail biting finish, the Lions held onto a 1-point lead for the final 6 minutes of the game, despite the Demons attacking constantly). In the 2012 Conference Grand Final, the Lions were unlucky to go down by 2 points, having stormed back from a 5-goal deficit at the beginning of the final quarter. Other notable events in 2012 included hosting the preliminary and semi finals at our home ground in Bounds Green.
