The Irish lacrosse team’s preparations for the World Championships ESCALATED yesterday as it took on Japan in a scrimmage held at Colorado Academy in the Lakewood section of Denver.

Tom Beary writing by candle light from Camp Ireland says:

We played a friendly last night against Japan who are the top 5 ranked team in the World.  Kevin Owens, Tom Burke, Mike McTernan and Brian Gillis showed hot hands at the offensive end, notching a few goals between them. The Japanese responded in kind however by converting a number of opportunities, with the contest concluding with a victory for the Japanese by a single goal.  It was a tight game throughout though, which bodes well for an Irish team

The build up continues..
