Colchester beat Brighton 11-10. Very good game between two fairly evenly matched sides. Thanks to the excellent referee as well!

Colchester 6-11 Bucks
Not sure the quarter scores, Bucks never behind though and in control throughout, Colchester would have benefited from having a sub or two (again...)

Unfortunately Colchester are somewhat more than partially uni reliant and I think that will be even more the case next year... I live in hope that ten graduates will move back to Colchester over the summer though!

How did it all go? Who won, who did well etc?

Guess that now the league is decided & both teams safe the passion wasn't there

That may well be it unfortunately. I was keen to play, but we have a lot of students who would rather go home for the holidays early than stay around for an extra day.

As much as I wish that were the case we definitely lost... :( A somewhat depleted Colchester lost 12-4 to a spirited Welwyn.

A somewhat depleted Colchester lost 12-4 to a spirited Welwyn. Game played in good spirits with perhaps no more than 3 or 4 penalties throughout. Not having a recognised goalkeeper didn't help us (again), with more than a fair share of goals coming from a long way out.

Any idea how this came about? I've introduced lacrosse into the school I work in and the girls are really keen, with many having joined the Essex University team for weekend matches, and I know that they'd love to have something like this at school.

Colchester conceded to Bristol. Think it was a combination of a lot of players missing and the sheer distance. We didn't fancy going over with 9 or 10 players. Shame as my brother lives there and was willing to see how being a lacrosse goalie differs from being a football goalie...

Colchester 1 - 10 Spencer 2. Pretty disappointing display from us today really, although once warmed up our stand-in keeper playing instead of our stand-in keeper made some great stops towards the end. Grammar? Applied appropriately I believe. Maybe needed a semi-colon rather than a comma after the...

Rumour has it that the Colchester 'keeper' is at his wits end and his incredibly short career could be over soon so expect a vacancy over there. Sweet, you could show him how a real keeper plays. Plus it's only the "home" games you'd have to travel to. All the rest of our matches are Lond...

Have we got a real keeper this week then?

Essex Blades Women's have just entered into the south league. They will certainly be looking for non-uni players to help boost numbers so if there are any budding women from north east Essex or Suffolk who want to join a team let me know!

My girlfriend may be interested, but isn't on laxforums and unlike me doesn't get a half-term holiday so I'll have to wait for her to get home to check. She hasn't played in a few years mind...

Do you need men or women. Only the first post made me assume men, and the second seems to assume women... If it is men I'm looking to play.

Essex uni does indeed have a team and we are pushing hard to transfer this into a Colchester Ladies team to play weekend games as of September. So if anyone is closer to Colchester then PM me for details. Also as a new team it would be good to get some pre-season games between us as we're so close!

Was watching New Zealand Sri Lanka on TV and saw a guy in the crowd wearing a New Zealand Lacrosse top, plus at the Australia Sri Lanka game I went to saw an Aussie with Australia women's lacrosse world cup coach shirt on
