2007 / 8 Season
Canterbury Lacrosse Association Open, Christchurch: March 2008
Results:
- Exhibition Match: 5 v 5
The opening game of the day was a 40 minute match between two equally balanced sides made up of players from the club. Both sides worked well together and the level of lacrosse was extremely high. As one would expect, the scores were level at the final whistle.
- 6-a-side tournament
The players and newbies were divided into teams of 5 outfield players as Canterbury's two goalies had opted to play each and every game. The teams were made up as follows:
- Astro 4 Braves 5
- Celtics 4 Dodgers 4
- Astro 3 Celtics 1
- Braves 4 Dodgers 1
- Astro 2 Braves 3
- Braves 4 Celtics 4
Overall winners: Braves (26points) Celtics (22points) Dodgers (16points) Astro(13points
National Lacrosse Open, Wellington: January 2008
Results:
Ladies
- Auckland 12 v Canterbury 5
This was a tough game and we were down a key player as G was taking part in the Ocean Swim to raise money for Kids' Cancer. Still, we put up a brave fight and actually won the second half. Unfortunately this isn't reflected in the overall score!
- Wellington 5 v Canterbury 4
We were unlucky with this one. It was a close game and both teams were looking for victory. Wellington just pipped us to the post. It was an excellent game though.
- North Harbour 8 v Canterbury 7
This was an exceptional match with NH only securing victory in the last minute with a fluke pass turned goal. Another excellent match with the Canterbury ladies really showing what they are made of.
Mixed
- Canterbury 4 v Auckland 4
A good game enjoyed by all. Auckland were a little surprised at the quality and ability of Canterbury but still managed to keep us to a draw
- Canterbury 4 v Wellington 2
Our first victory! It came late in the tournament but it was an excellent game. We had the upper hand in that we train as a mixed squad.
None of these games would have been possible without the excellent organisation of the Open by Wellington and the additional players who fronted up to help us make up our team. THANK YOU to you all, you know who you are.
