FIL 2010 Lacrosse World Cup Festival


Stockport U12s

The U12s with Chester, the World Cup mascot

World Cup Festival Games

Stockport Lacrosse U12s put a team into the Festival at the Firs to mark the start of the 2010 World Cup.
We played 5 games at the Festival site - winning just one.
Our team today was a few players down and with the Captain nursing an injury, our usual line-up was a bit disrupted. In Michael's first game for Stockport though, he worked really hard, and proved a real asset to our team - not only today, but hopefully for the start of the new season in September too. Welcome to Stockport Michael!

Junior Summer Tour to Blues Lacrosse. 26th and 27th June 2010

The Junior Boys made the long trip south to take on Spencer and Blues at Blues Lacrosse club this weekend.
Arriving on a very hot and humid afternoon, the U12s had a 4pm face-off against Spencer.
The heat and long journey had taken their toll though, and while managing to score 7 goals, the Stockport lads were defeated in a 16:7 win for Spencer.

Whilst day 2 got off to a scorching start, the humidity wasn't as bad, and with a shorter pitch and 15 minute quarters, the boys scored a brilliant victory against Blues Lacrosse with a 3:10 win!

With a warm welcome and excellent hospitality from Blues, a great weekend was had by boys and parents alike.
