Ireland V Japan scrimmage_-2

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..

Some of the many Lacrosse players that tried out for the Ireland Lacrosse men’s team and a chance to compete the 2014 World Lacrosse Championships in Denver, Colorado.

Conor Walsh, from Ireland Lacrosse, writes:

“We held try-outs for the team in University College Dublin, that will be heading to Denver in July of 2014 to take part in the World Lacrosse Championships. 70 guys showed up to compete for 23 spots.”
“70 will become 30 and those 30 will travel to New York in March to take on Israel and a local team as part of a final test to select the 23 men that will go to Denver in July. The team will also be taking part in the Paddy’s Day Parade in NYC.”
