That is great to hear! First training session took place today. Next one is on Friday, 8-9pm at Chelmer Park. If anyone is interested in coming along or will be interested in the future PM me and I'll keep you in the loop! This has the potential to be a really successful club, but current members ar...

First training session should happen in the next week... There isn't a lot more to be said at the moment! Watch this space...

Currently there is a club in Colchester which has men's and women's sections, and there's a club in Buckhurst Hill which has just a men's team. Contact info is on the SEMLA website, or I'm sure they will see this thread at some point. There is also a brand new club starting in Chelmsford. If you're ...

Just a quick reminder that the North Trials are coming up for English Universities.

It would be extremely helpful if all those interested could email englishuniversities@gmail.com so we have an idea of numbers.

Cheers.

All,

The Northern trials for the English Universities team will take place on 11th March at Wilmslow LC, 12-3pm. It will cost £5 per person to attend.

To get an idea of numbers, please send a message to englishuniversities@gmail.com with your name, current university and position.

Thanks.

Are you interested in Men's or Women's Lacrosse? The Cambridge University team has lots of non students playing for them in the South England club league, and all are very much welcome. If you want to play women's lacrosse your nearest club is in Hitchin, but they also have men's and junior teams if...

Well to be honest I don't really have many opinions on the topic! The only reason I replied was because it was implied that we can't DISCUSS elite competition just because juniors aren't very developed, which seemed an odd reason to me. However, if we asked, "Should we be doing more to increase...

Youth development is important, but it won't increase the standard of lacrosse in the South on its own. It directly increases the standard of lacrosse in the south. The more players you incorporate early, the better the players will be and the standard will improve. With or without an elite structu...

No. And for good measure, I heartily despise management gobbledygook such as "building competence". Does the south need an explosion in youth participation and development? Yes. Far more so than it needs an elite structure. Surely it's not an either/or decision? We agree that It's importa...

In a weird coincidence, I'm also a goalie, also from Brooklands, also moving down to London at the start of December!

Any other clubs looking for a goalie? No offence to Maidstone and Colchester, but both are a bit too far out of my way...

Brooklands Ex A 9 - 4 Heaton Mersey B

Just saw the league updated here which says Mersey won 12-6... I guess an error in communication there!

Sounds to me like yet another ArchLevel debacle to join the long list of events that might have been. Is it now time we all woke up and send promises are just words and actions don't tend to happen with ArchLevel. Catalogue of disasters in my opinion. Well done Spencer on actually getting something...

... you realise this thread was started in 2010? Are you looking for some information in particular?

I don't think shin pads slow you down enough to make a real difference. And if not wearing them at all means that you can't make the save then it's fairly irrelevant anyway right? Bottom line: Wear whatever you feel comfortable in to get the job done, and f**k anyone who says any different. John Mar...

I know myself, Jesse, and Matt will want to play so that's a long pole and two attack. If you are interested reply here so we can start getting some sort of roster going. Should be a good day of lax if everyone gets teams together. You guys can't play on an Essex team, as far as i'm aware the regio...

So what's the final squad for this? Would be interesting to see the distribution of players from unis in different areas and how this has changed over the years. Is there still a strong Midlands influence like last year? Not sure I have the authority to post the final roster, but the final squad is...

...worth pointing out that the game is tomorrow by the way!

Does anyone know anything about Lacrosse in Australia? Where are the hotspots? Has anyone from the UK been to play there? Any info/knowledge/anecdotes welcomed. I've tried google, but there doesn't seem to be a huge amount of reliable information that isn't just reading Wikipedia. On a related note,...

Think Cambridge did the same before when the won East 1, but conceded the play-off game for promotion to the Premiership. According to this: http://www.southlacrosse.org.uk/history/league.html Cambridge haven't been eligible for the East v West playoff before - that is unless there is already a pre...

Wow, lot of Cambridge hate going on over here. I'm surprised that we've given the impression of being 'part timers' or content with dossing around. We take our lacrosse seriously, evidenced by the fact that we worked hard all season to win East 1, win Varsity and put in a good showing to come 2nd in...
