Alistair was approached by the Aussie U19 coaching staff and has agreed to join the team as a defensive coach for the VIC contingent. Al is a perennial VIC state team player and has been one of the state league team's defensive anchors for a number of years now. Al is also a veteran junior's coach having coached U12s the last few season and most recently as coach for the U15 Southern Crosse 2013 state representative team.

Al will get his first crack at his new role in a couple of weeks during the U19 VIC training camp. We wish him all the best in his new role.

The ALA is now calling for players and support staff (coach, manager) to represent Australia in the 2014 ANZAC Day Lacrosse Commemorative Games.

100 years ago, NZ and Australia were scheduled to play a Lacrosse game. The game never took place. WW I broke out and it will be 86 years before Lacrosse was played in NZ again. Fast forward 100 years and Australia and NZ are set to do battle again to commemorate "the game that never was".

The ALA has named the squad which will try out for the 23 available spots in the Australian U19 men's team. The team will compete in the FIL Under 19 World Championship in Coquitlam, British Columbia, Canada on July 2016. Five CLC junior players have been named in the squad:

Ben Greenwood (currently U18)

Aaron Hussain (currently U18)

Lincoln Krieger (currently U18)

Eddy Mizrahi (currently U18)

Angus Wood (currently U15)

Informal preseason begins this Thursday 9^th January 2014 and continues every Thursday until late January at Dorothy Laver from 6:30pm for anyone who wants to come down and have a throw.

Formal preseason will commence on Thursday 23rd January 2014 at 6.30pm with a squad meeting for State League and Division 1 players, where playing strategies will be discussed. Thursday 6th February 2014 will be Camberwell’s first official training session at Dorothy Laver from 6.30pm to 8.00pm.

Hope to see you there

Wishing the Camberwell Lacrosse Club community a Happy New Year! 2014 promises to be an exciting year for CLC with continued growth of player numbers and newly refurbished training and playing facilities. Watch this space to see what is happening regarding the 2014 pre-season.

The CLC Committee

CLC has a proud history of having players representing Camberwell in the U19 National Team, including Keir Jarvis, Matt Roberts, Simon Barwell, Russell Fox, Jason Davenport (named in the World Under 19 All Stars team) and Chris Weisse in the 1992 Australian Under 19 Team, Robbie Proctor in the 1999 Australian Under 19 Team and Brett Melville, Andrew Hadden Sabian Johnson, Simon Baker and Daniel Pusvacietis (2003 Australian Under 19 Team).

The Camberwell Lacrosse Club AGM was held on Wednesday 20^th of November 2013, with a number of long serving members (Brema Samuel, Nick Barlow & Miron Mizrahi) resigning from the Committee to pursue other interests, so we take this opportunity to thank them for their service. Of particular note was David Huett who also resigned after in excess of five years on the Committee with multiple years as Treasure, so David thank you. Philip Churchwood resigned as President but will remain on the Committee as a Vice President in 2014.
