Following a recent two-week lacrosse PE program run by our club at St Dominic’s Primary School, nine students have joined Camberwell’s Under 11 Indoor Competition on Monday nights.

The coaches have been thrilled with the way these new players are progressing and have fitted into teams with more experienced players.

Ashwood High School sent two teams to the recent Lacrosse Victoria Schools Tournament for students in Years 7-8.  This follows the conduct of PE sessions and a training program at the school run by Doug Fox, Sean Aaron and Jackson Lawrence with support from Eric De Stefano, Aaron Hussain, Andrew Samson-Loxton and Blake Tulau.

Camberwell Lacrosse is hosting a Quick Stix Lacrosse program for primary school kids who are new to lacrosse. Anyone is welcome, please refer your friends who may want to give lacrosse a go. A cap, tshirt and drink bottle is included in the price - all other gear supplied.

Location: Dorothy Laver Reserve East (Saxby)

Sean anchored our defensive line, allowing only 126 goals in 18 games (or 7 goals per game) - fewest in the competition.  Capping a great year between the pipes, Sean was named last Friday as Lacrosse Victoria Best & Fairest for 2017!

This is the 2nd year in a row where a Camberwell Lacrosse Club state league player is named league best & fairest (last year it was Joel Easson).

Way to go Seany!!!

Last Friday, at the Lacrosse Victoria awards night Camberwell Lacrosse Club had 5 people from our State League team named into the LV All Stars team:

• Clinton (Cocky) Lander (A), led the league in points
• Eric DeStefano (M)
• Al Glountnay (D)
• Sean Aaron (GK)
• Tim Murphy (Coach)

For Cocky, Al and Tim this is their 2nd year in a row being named to the All Stars team.

This windfall, representing roughly half of the All Stars team, is a testament to the great season we had in 2017 and signs of a bright future.

Last Sunday our junior boys and girls celebrated the end of the 2017 season at the Junior Presentations. Held at the Dorothy Laver clubrooms, it was a beautiful sunny spring day which saw two matches pitting kids vs. parents, BBQ lunch and celebrating the season with the 2017 Junior awards. Below are the deserving recipients and we hope to see all of then return for an even better 2018 season.

Al Gloutnay (#66), shown here with club legend Bobby Jackson, is the 2017 winner of the Grand Final 'Best on Ground'. This is a true testament to Al's heart and skill and is especially unique as this award is almost always given to the winning team.
