There is plenty of interest around the community from juniors in joining our club to play in girls’ or boys’ teams in 2019.  An information meeting to assist parents new to the club will be held on Tuesday 11th December 2018 between 7.00- 7.45pm at Solway Primary School conference room.

Come along and meet club officials and other parents and ask questions.  You will be welcome to gather information and/or able to enroll your child on this night for a spot in Under 9, Under 11, Under 13, Under 15 and Under 17 boys' or girls' teams for 2019. 

It was a night of close results at the Junior Indoor competition this week. The Reds and Purples matched it 9-all and the Blues grabbed a last-minute goal to tie 6-all with the Yellows.

Down a goal with thirty seconds to play, the Blues looked beaten, but Freddie cut through the Yellow defense to hammer the ball into the net for the tie.  Tilly Lodge dominated the attack for the girls in Yellow, coming up with 3 goals on feeds from Maddy and Ruby.  At the other end Alex and Fred led the scoring as Ben, Owen and Zac worked hard to recover loose balls and slip the ball into attack.

Well done to Miles Cowton, Marcus Woon, Mason Lewis and Ned McKenna for their great performance at the U15 national tournament. Here is their report...

We had an amazing time at the ala u/15 national lacrosse tournament.   Our Southern Crosse played many, and beat many teams from around Australia, including the Victorians - Northern Warriors & Western Metro.  In the end we lost the grand final in a sudden death overtime against Southern Braves from Western Australia.  Pretty happy that we were the second best team in Australia & New Zealand though.

The junior section of the MILL Indoor competition provided some great highlights on Monday night with 40 girls and boys, all aged 12-14 years competing.

2018 was a great year for lacrosse at Camberwell. Thanks to all the players, coaches, managers, officials and other volunteers who made it all possible. Lacrosse is a team sport that relies on the whole team to contribute, but there were a number of players who we recognise for having an outstanding year.

Camberwell overcame the odds, and powerhouse Williamstown, to take out the 2018 Division Two premiership on Saturday 15th September. Coming from fourth place on the end-of-season ladder, the Chiefs squeezed their way past Altona and Surrey Park to make the Grand Final. Having dominant player, Mat Kerr, out of Victoria on business set the challenge for the day.
