Welcome to Cranbrook Lacrosse
Welcome to Cranbrook Lacrosse Club. Set up in 2005 the club has been growing steadily over the past years and now has active women's and junior sections. Next season the women's team will be playing regular fixtures in the Invicta 8 aside league, as well as some friendly fixtures.
The club is based in the heart of the Weald of Kent and is within easy reach of Ashford, Maidstone, Tunbridge Wells, Tonbridge and Hastings. You can even make it from Sevenoaks in 30mins. We are delighted to welcome experienced players into the ranks but are just as happy to see new players, of any age, turn up and have a go.
With the end of term fast and summer holidays fast approaching we are again running our BBQ and fun evening at Cranbrook Rugby Club. This year the event will be on Tuesday 30th starting with the pop lacrosse at 6.00pm, followed by a field game at 7.30 pm.
The event is open to all and we hope that existing players bring friends along to "have a go" and enjoy the BBQ.
Please remember gum shields for the field players.
If it is raining hard the event will be cancelled, but the weather forecast is fantastic so come along and join us for a bit of end of season fun.
England played Australia in a warm up game on 11th June prior to the Women's Lacrosse World Cup in Prague. England won 8 -6. Fortunately, Future Reference was there to cover the event with super long lens, Hi-Def cameras and goal post "hero cams". Trailer is now online, photos are too! DVDs of the entire game plus extra features are available for purchase in aid of Breast Cancer Care.
To see the photographs and to purchase the DVD go to the website http://www.engvsaus.co.uk/
For all of you who are looking for regular, friendly, competitive lacrosse next winter we have signed up for the Invicta 8s, 8 aside league. Currently there are 5 teams which have indicated they interested in playing, giving us 8 games between November 09 and April 2010.

There will be more news about the Invicta 8s league in the future.
Cranbrook Lacrosse Club took part in The Festival of Sport organised by Tonbridge & Malling Council on Sunday 26th May. The general idea was that as many sport clubs as possible turned up to Tonbridge School to give the general public the opportunity to find out a bit more about them and, in some cases, actually take part in a tastser session of some sort.
The team from Cranbrook, Kate & Giles, took the pop sticks and a full size goal and set up on the Founder's astro turf and ran a basic skills and shooting clinic for visitors thoughout the day.
Sunday 7th June saw 5 pop lacrosse teams arrive at Walthamstow Hall School in Sevenoaks for a tournament. Cranbrook arrived with two teams Cranbrook Raiders (in red bibs - see pic left) and Cranbrook Pirates (in blue bibs), and played Stocks Green and two teams from Sevenoaks.
Overall the competition was very close, but with a wonderful mix of surprising results along the way. Isn't lacrosse great. Honours between the two Cranbrook teams were just about even, with the last match of the tournament between the two ending in a 5 all draw.
