Camberwell  Blitz 4 lost to Surrey Park White 20

Under 11 underdogs diminish Malvern’s extreme winning streak.

With Camberwell Under 11 made up entirely of new players, we knew that Malvern were going to be tough to beat, having won most of their matches by 11 or more goals.

The Camberwell derby finished in a thrilling draw as our two Under 13 teams went head to head.

When Joel Easson (current State League player) was recruited to play in the Under 12's, little did his mum Jennie know that a decade later she would be running up and down the lacrosse field brandishing a whistle.

Camberwell Blitz 4 lost to Eltham 16
Playing the top ranked Eltham, the Blitz worked hard and showed growing grit and positional understanding. Frank McKenna and Rob Barber carried the goalie duties well and the Camberwell midfield chased hard with Ashby, Tubb and new player Liam Campbell impressing. Ned McKenna, Finn Whelen and Lachie Falconer Boag scored goals for Camberwell with Ed Whelen and Colby Gale making some slick passing and goal assists. The Blitz are handling the elevation from U11 well and can look forward to playing some of the lower ranked teams in coming weeks.

 Blitz by a Whisker

 Playing with only 9 players due to illness and injuries the Under 13 Blitz got home by a single goal in an exciting victory over Surrey Park Red.  From 5- 3 down at half time the team made a great comeback to take the honours 9 goals to 8.

Camberwell Blitz  3 lost to Williamstown  11

A couple of injured players and the long weekend combined to limit the Blitz to just 8 players for their game against the reigning premiers Williamstown.

With 30 new junior players joining our club for the 2016 season there was a need to expand the pool of coaches.

Four of our finest stepped up to take on Under 11 and Under 13 team coaching roles.  Our junior players and their parents will enjoy and benefit from the enthusiasm and outstanding lacrosse skills that these coaches bring to their new roles.  They all have busy lives attending to their own full-time education at tertiary or higher secondary levels so give them a word of thanks when you see them making time for the important work of junior coaching.

We are all proud of Ben Greenwood following his selection in the Australian Under 19 team for the World Championships to be played in Vancouver, Canada in July.

But it's not just accolades and glory for Ben.
