We extend a warm welcome to all players, newcomers or anyone who is as enthusiastic as we are about the great game of lacrosse. We are based in South London and aim to provide the best facilities in the South of England, whilst promoting the incredible sport that is lacrosse. We currently run 2 senior Mens teams and 2 senior Womens teams. The Mens 1st team plays in the Premier Division of Southern English Lacrosse and the Mens 2nd team (Blues 2s) plays in East Division 1. The Womens 1st Team also play in the Premier Division of Southern Counties Lacrosse Association and their 2nd team plays in the Rosebowl tournament. We also run a successful Junior Section that is currently open to boys aged 8-16 and girls aged 8-14 (girls over 14 can join the senior womens playing section). We are heavily involved in developing lacrosse in the South-East of England: we coach in schools, assist Universities to improve their skills and encourage new players from all backgrounds.

LATEST NEWS FROM THE BLUES
Gentlemen-
This weekend was the first time all season that the First Team and Tooz played at home, and it was great to see how many people came down to the club! On a cool, grey Saturday afternoon, the camaraderie shown in the locker room before the game, and then later that night at Lowden's EXCELLENT Quiz Night was fantastic! Unfortunately, the results didn't match the mood, as the Tooz fell to London Uni 12-6 on the upper field, while the First Team pulled out a 1 goal victory against struggling Hillcroft, 11-10 on The Hill. The games did however, cement our spots as #2 and #3 in the league respectively, and will make next week's results even more crucial in the standings!
Bring it on!
What's most exciting is that a quarter way through the season, both teams are in a position to finish Top 3 in their respective leagues, which would be a huge step for the club! It's amazing that after all this time, we finally have the talent and depth to be competitive at both levels. A large part of this is - surprise, surprise - practice!
Which we need to keep attending! Following a bit of a break two weeks ago, training ran 25 players strong last Wednesday night which was awesome, and we were able to work on a lot of things that needed some attention, including transition play and defense. However, with
2008-2009 Premier and Flags winners Hampstead and Hertfordshire Comets in our sights, we must have another good showing this week to continue tweaking. Let's continue to develop and succeed as a club, and boost that Blues camaraderie even more! See you guys at 7:00 on Wednesday!
Forever in Blue,
-Baggers
