Please note the following: NO MODCROSSE 17th AUGUST. This is another reminder that there is no Modcrosse this coming weekend (17th August) due to Penistone being booked for an Auskick Gala Day in the morning. For those also involved in Lacrosse, the U13s Lacrosse game has been pushed back to start at 1pm. Modcrosse will recommence on 24th August and continue until 7th September. NO TRAINING AT CARRAMAR 26th AUGUST There will be no training at Carramar on Monday 26th August, as Nicky is unavailable at that time. WANNEROO LACROSSE CLUB HOSTING FINALS Wanneroo Lacrosse Club are hosting the Lacrosse WA finals this year. The finals commence with junior preliminary finals on 24th August and continue with juniors and seniors for the following 3 weeks – 31st August, 7th September and 14th September. Modcrosse games will be played from 8:30-9:15 on 24th, 31st August and 7th September. And we hope that Modcrosse people will stay around to support the Wanneroo Lacrosse teams in the finals. Hopefully we will have a number of Wanneroo Teams participating. U15 Reds (we have two U13s and two U15s teams competing this year) have already won the minor premiership and U13 Blues should wrap up the Minor Premiership this weekend, which is already a great result for the club. Almost all the players in the 4 teams in 13s and 15s have come from Modcrosse, and you will know some of them who come down to support Modcrosse on Saturday mornings. So it would be great to support them and cheer them on to victory. How awesome would it be to have a 13s and a 15s derby in the Grand Finals of these two comps! It is possible. The Junior Grand Finals are on 7th September, along with some senior games and the Senior Grand Finals, including Women’s Grand Finals in 3 grades, are on 14th September. Michelle Baird, our wonderful Canteen Manager will be managing the jointly-run canteen which will be operating during the Finals. We have all agreed that profits from the canteen will be equally shared between Modcrosse, Men’s and Women’s Lacrosse. We have also agreed that if possible, all parents and partners should be able to watch their children, friends and partners play in the finals. So the arrangement is that the Men’s Lacrosse (seniors) will be running the canteen on 24th August when the first round of junior finals are on (seniors have a bye this week) and Juniors including Modcrosse will run the canteen on the 14th September during the Senior and Women’s Grand Finals. The Women’s Lacrosse people have agreed to do one of the two remaining Saturdays (and I’m pushing for 7th September so we are free to watch all the Junior Grand Finals) and then the other Saturday, which would be 31st August will need to be a joint effort. So we are looking for volunteers to do say a two hour block in the canteen and/or to help out in other ways around the grounds. There will actually be a second ‘canteen’ (BBQ sausages and hamburgers) on the far side of the ground. If you can help, then please see Michelle, Lee or myself and we will try to fit you in with your request (no guarantees though). Please remember that this has the potential of being a great fund-raiser for the Modcrosse group and ultimately this helps to keep the fees down, so you could look at it as personally benefitting you financially. And this joint effort will be a great way of leading in to our soon-to-be-amalgamated club! Steve (Secretary)
