Last Friday, three teams from Ashwood High School ventured out to Fawkner Park to compete in the Sports School Victoria Lacrosse tournament.

Students in Years 7 and 8 from Ashwood High, Williamstown High, Emmanuel College and Patterson River Secondary College came together to play each other in a version of the game similar to indoor lacrosse. Ashwood fielded two mixed teams (coached by Christian Blair and Tony Hollenkamp) and one girls team (coached by Amanda Hollenkamp).

The highlight of the year was the Under 13 girls winning the premiership, but every team should be proud of their efforts.

The following awards were given to outstanding juniors:

The 2019 season closed on the weekend with 3 Camberwell teams playing in their Grand Final and all coming away with the Premiership. This marks the end of an amazing season for Camberwell despite all the obstacles that have been in our path.

Congratulations to our 3 premiership winning teams:

Jan Jackson was given a mighty surprise during her recent overseas trip to attend World Lacrosse meetings as Chair of the Women’s International Rules Committee.

The award of a plaque acknowledging her past 26 years of service to the world lacrosse body as an international referee, assessor and Technical Committee member caught her almost speechless.

Congratulations Jan, this award is most deserved.  You are a busy person who always gives of your time and talents at all levels and you are a credit to Camberwell Lacrosse Club.
