Moreland Lacrosse Club hosted the Eltham Lacrosse Club in a Friday night clash to open round 14. In what was a highly entertaining and physical game, Eltham came out on top with a 14 - 7 victory. Well done to Moreland for organising the event, we look forward to more Friday night lacrosse.

Congratulations to the U19 Victorian team who recently won the National Championship in Perth with a one goal win over South Australia, final score 11 - 10. Considering the Vic's lost the opening game to South Australia 12 - 3, this was a remarkable effort by the team and coaching staff.

Congratulations to the team;
