DIVISION 3
A new look division 3 team took to the field in a round 1 matchup against Altona/Wyndham. The team included first game players Jacob and Mike Spilkin and Josh Rotstein along with James Faull back playing after a long absence. Just before the game started a wild burst of wintry weather swept across the ground drenching all the players and their equipment. However, a sign of how different this year’s team is to recent Div 3 teams, the team still went out i8n the rain before the game and got a good dynamic warm-up in.

The game started with a goal to Altona, however we added 2 to take the lead in a tight first quarter. As the game evolved our juniors settled into their roles and started to take control of the game. The second quarter was played at a pretty fast pace, our D repelling Altona’s attacks, our clears working well leading to some transition goals – including a ripper from Peter Dyson playing in his last game for the club (he’s returning to England), as well as some great inside feeds to Josh who added 2 more goals to the 2 the scored in the 1st quarter.

We took a 6-1 lead into half-time. The pace dropped off in the 3rd quarter but the pattern of the game was unchanged. Jai and Jacob dominating the face-off. James Currie stopping any shots Altona managed to get, and solid defence from Pedro, Ethan and James Faull keeping the ball in attack for long periods of time. We added 3 more goals in the 3rd quarter. Altona added another in the last quarter but we got another 4 to run out winners by 13 to 2.

James Faull got 3 votes for a dominating performance in defence. (Ethan and Pedro also did well). Josh in his first game got 2 votes – finished the game with 6 goals and 2 assists, and Dylan got 1 vote, running rings around the defence at X, and scoring 1 goal and throwing 5 assists.

Caulfield defeated Altona 13-2 (Rotstein 6-2, Bartlem 2-0, Dyson 2-0, Harari 1-5, Richards 1-0, Cohen 1-0, M. Spilkin 0-1, O’Donnell 0-1, J. Spilkin 0-1) – POD

DIVISION 1
The Div 1 team missed out on a game in round 1. Malvern giving a walkover. The next game will be a tough one against a polished and strong Williamstown outfit at Greenwich reserve – POD

STATE LEAGUE
State league played Altona on Saturday with a 12-10 loss, but a gutsy effort with a couple of very late withdrawals just b4 the game that left us with 13 players to start.
An injury to another in the 2nd term which meant we played most of the game with 12 players , just 3 long poles. This made man down very difficult.
Tank dominated face off for us , we had enough ball to win the game.
Ultimately unforced errors and execution let us down. We had some good assisted goals which we had been working a lot on at training. We fielded a young team , which will be better for the hit out. Some individuals stood out that almost got us over the line. In Defense, Michael Rodrigues 1st game in defense was reborn again (a natural) , Will Lettieri did it all (defense , ground balls , clears)
Midfield stand outs were tank in the face off & Liam Harari with some tremendous ground balls, Attack – with Liam Fothergill had to some nice finishing and Will our American import doing a good job opening up angles for the team.
A few basics to work on during the week to hopefully turn it around for the next game – Rob Stark

LAX NEWS

U18 NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS

The Under 18 National Championships were held in very sunny conditions at the Glenelg lacrosse club over the Easter long weekend. The play-off games for 1st place in both the boys and girls competitions saw Victoria against Western Australia.

The girls went into their final as underdogs, the Western Australians went into the final undefeated. They had a comfortable win over the Victorian team on the first day and would have gone into the final full of confidence. However, in a tightly contested final the girls prevailed by 1 goal, winning 12 to 11. Tim Dobson’s presence, deep voice, lacrosse knowledge and general calmness contributed greatly to their come from behind win. Zoe Stannus, who had a great tournament, was a key in defence, and played a major role in the win, spending a lot of time in the final marking the best WA attackers. The final was tense and very tight in the last stages. Zoe held her nerve throughout, running hard to get back to repeal WA attacks and also to help the Vic’s clear the ball and start their offence. A great result for Zoe and Tim, well deserved.

The boys team went into their final full of confidence having won all their lead up games. After a tight start the boys got right on top of the WA team and ran out very comfortable winners, 20 to 7. In the final Finn scored 3 goals and Liam got a goal and an assist. Gavin Leavy the WA coach, commented to me after the game that the final was like watching boys play against men. The Vic boys ran with intent when dodging and cutting, threw the ball harder, and when their was a contest on the ground got their heads over the ball and usually came up with possession. That was from my perspective, as a spectator, a good summary of the difference between the teams, and also of the way Liam and Finn went about their lacrosse all week. Both boys finished the tournament with 6 goals, and remarkable records in junior representative lacrosse. They have now played together in 4 national championship winning teams (2 for Southern Crosse and 2 for the Vic under 18s). They should be quite proud of their efforts. Liam’s suitcase weighted quite bit more on the return trip, having collected medals for being the MVP in the game against South Australia, making the championship all-star team, the all tournament team and the award as the championship MVP.

Alongside the tournament the under 19 Aussie girls squad – including Shaylee – trained and also played some games. Shaylee played wonderfully well in those games. This was a super effort given her family had quite a bit to deal with while they were there. Her little brother fell and a cut lip required 17 stitches, and her grandfather, club legend Brian Hecker, became the victim of a mystery disease and also required hospitalisation. As you read this newsletter, Brian is still in hospital in Adelaide but thankfully the problem has been identified and he will after a course of medication be back to full health shortly.

Well done Zoe, Tim, Liam, Finn and Shaylee, you all represented yourselves, our club and the state with distinction.

Recap by Pete O’Donnell

VALE PHIL HUMPHREYS

It is with regret and sadness that l advise that Phil Humphreys passed away peacefully this morning aged 79. Phil was diagnosed with MS over 10 years ago, initially thought he had a back injury that might need surgery, but later diagnosed as MS, and has slowly deteriorated over that time to the point that he was wheel chair bound and in 24 hour care.

I had the pleasure of working with him in many capacities, as my club coach and state coach, and then as president of the VALA, with the late Bill Taylor, when l was treasurer.

He was a tireless worker at whatever he did, put 100% effort into anything, and while he may have been president of LV he was not beneath erecting goals at the Albert Ground for a Sunday game, something new at the time in the 1970s.
Phil went on to be President of the Australian Lacrosse Council for several years.

He was a fearless defenceman who played for Caulfield and proudly represented Victoria and Australia. He was also an administrator from a very early age and his name is prominent in the history of our game.

Phil was nominated for an OAM and for some unknown and quite unbelievable reason did not receive one.

Vale Phil, you are now at peace and able to do the things you hoped you could do in your later years, thanks for everything you did for the game of lacrosse in Australia.

I understand there will be a private family funeral but there will be a fitting farewell for him thereafter.

A sad day for lacrosse, but Phil is now at peace and in a better place.

Regards
John Nolan
Chairman, LMLC

REPOST FROM LAMBTON MOUNT LACROSSE CLUB FACEBOOK

BRUNSWICK LACROSSE CLUB

Moreland Lacrosse Club has decided to change their name to Brunswick Lacrosse Club. They will still be the Mustangs, and still wear orange uniforms (and it will take a while for new uniforms to be available for all their teams, so they still might wear “Moreland” on their tops till next year). On the fixture this year, LV will write Brunswick (Moreland), and then next year just Brunswick. They feel like the name is a better reflection of the local identify of their club. Have a look at their new look on their Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/WeAreBrunswickLacrosse/)

REFEREE REGISTRATION (MENS)
As in past years ALRA is making it easy for anybody who is interested to become accredited as a referee. They have an online test
(https://www.classmarker.com/online-test/start/?quiz=vdn5a729ec4cdb44).
The pass mark to become a club referee is 60%. The test isn’t that hard, is free and can be retaken as many times as you want until you get the mark you want. It is really important that we has as many players qualified to referee as possible. There are days when we are short and need help making sure we provide referees (especially important for our junior grades), the more people who are qualified the easier it will be to find a referee who able to help out our regulars. It’s also good to know the rules, so jump on-line, do the test and get qualified to be a referee.

CALL FOR EXPRESSIONS OF INTEREST
TO COACH JUNIOR AND SENIOR TEAMS
We have been lucky over the years to have excellent coaches for our junior teams. However, our senior teams without coaches are at a real disadvantage. This year we’d like each team to have at least one coach, and the junior teams to have more than one (to share the work, and help cover when one coach isn’t available). If you’d like to coach please contact us (secretary@caulfieldlacrosse.com.au or president@caulfieldlacrosse.com.au). It’s a lot of fun, a great way to connect to the kids (if it’s a junior team you are looking after), and you get the best position to watch a game from. LV run coaches courses, we will pay for you to go and get accredited. If you are new to coaching we will make sure you are working with an experienced coach to help guide you and help out.

For our senior teams, especially the Women’s teams and the Men’s “Divi” teams, we’d love to see some past players sharing their experience and knowledge of the game and helping the new generation develop. Coaching is a great way to give back to the club you love – so past players, go on – get involved with the club and give coaching a go (secretary@caulfieldlacrosse.com.au or president@caulfieldlacrosse.com.au).

CALL FOR EXPRESSIONS OF INTEREST
FOR TEAM MANAGERS
Following on from our call for coaches, unless supported by a manager the team coach has to spend a fair chunk of their time at training and on game day doing tasks that need to be done but aren’t related to coaching. If a team has a manager, the coaches can coach. Being a manager is an important task, but isn’t all that hard – and doesn’t require that much lacrosse knowledge. We’d love to have a manager (or two) for each team. Think you’d like to help your team but scared you don’t know enough about lacrosse – being a manager might be the way for you to contribute. We will help – we have a manual, have a software application (teamstuff) that will make your life easier – so if you are interested in being a manager – please let us know.

LAX NEWS

Over Easter the under 18 National championship will be conducted in Adelaide with Victoria represented as usual by both a boys and girls team. Finn Lane and Liam Harari – who was named as a captain – will be playing in the boy teams team for the second year running. They will  be hoping to repeat last year’s championship winning performance. Zoe Stannus (heading to her 3rd tournament) and Shaylee Stringer (picked as an alternate even though she’s still under 15) have also been training hard in the girls squad in preparation for the tournament under coach Tim Dobson. The girl’s team were runners up last year and will be hoping to go one better this year.

Congratulations to Tim Dobson! Tim late last year was appointed coach of the Victorian under 18 girls team. Just this week, Lacrosse Victoria announced they have also appointed him as Head Coach of the 2018 Victorian Senior Women’sTeam. We are all very happy for you Tim, and also super proud. Well done.
