Superbowl Sunday

Every year we plan to do something for the superbowl (textbook american sports night)...and every year we forget. So this year we are planning in advance! Sunday 3rd febuary...bbq, chips, dips and american lagers...coors, bud and miller! Anyone want to volunteer a place to host the event...with a big tv? x

GAME TAPE - FRIDAY 1st FEBUARY - MS.04 - 7pm

Thats right kids its that time again that we run a game tape evening in the maths block. Once again we will be putting on an NCAA college lacrosse game in a lecture theatre...so bring along your chips, and dips, and fizzy pop to enjoy the show. It's great for freshers to pick up lacrosse basics, and for oldies to learn something off the pro's!
May well get some betting on the go again...with punishments as pints at circle!

South Men's Lacrosse Trials

Earlier this weekend 3 Warwick Men's Lax Players attended the South Trials hosted by Gloucester. We would like to wish Jon Treacy (D), Alex Twiss (M) and Seb Croft (M & F/O) the best of luck!

Latest at the Club

Earlier today the Men's team returned from the Metchley Pitches in Birmingham after a successful day. Although missing out on a place in the Final (Oxford 2:0 Nottingham) the boys secured a winning record (3-2) which is a marked improvement on last year... the results:

Warwick 4 : 0 Loughborough
Warwick 0 : 5 Nottingham
Warwick 3 : 1 Birmingham
Warwick 6 : 4 Cambridge
Warwick 1 : 2 Oxford

Also the Men's development team lost out in a nail-biter with Northampton 9-8. Reports to follow soon...

The Pitter Patter of Warwick Lax...

On the social side of things we had another corking social in Week 7 with bin bags...highlights being the Warwick "bin bag jersey" clad lads, a few thunderbirds, and even fewer items of clothing. Keep your ear to the ground for next weeks banter.

The Men's Lacrosse team travel to the BUSA tournament on the 17th and on the 18th Warwick are hosting the Welsh U-19 team for a training session, finishing with an afternoon scrimmage game against the 1st team. The development team just returned from "Fresher Fest", a tournament aimed at developing lacrosse in Universities hosted by Bath University. They placed 5 out of 10 on the day with a 1 W, 1 D, and 2 L, return with more kit and more experience...brilliant.

The mixed team are on a break for a week, while the girls where in action at Loughborough...write up coming soon.
