Lacrosse

Richard Moon rdcm2

QCLC plays mixed lacrosse against other colleges in the University. There are two main competitions – the league which runs throughout the Michaelmas (Autumn) and Lent (Spring) terms, and Cuppers (run in group stages with semi-finals and finals – much like the World Cup) at the end of the Lent term. In the league we’ve enjoyed recent success, getting promoted to the top division and then winning it last year.

Many players haven’t seen a lacrosse stick before October but by Cuppers the team is a fantastic gelled unit. QCLC is renowned as being one of the biggest clubs (Queens’ army) and we always have the biggest contingent at Cuppers so the whole affair is a thoroughly enjoyable one. Over the last three years we have been 1st, 2nd and 3rd, fighting hard against Downing and Clare.

We train on Queens’ Green (the park right next to Queens’) either on Saturday morning (followed by team brunch) or on Sunday afternoon and matches will always be at the weekend, usually on Saturday.

The best part of QCLC is the amount of fun we have both on and off the pitch so it’s a brilliant scene to be part of. Drink ten-pin bowling, ‘Lacrosse with a twist’, and the three legged lacrosse pub crawls are legendary traditions of the team. If you have any questions, please email or meet us at the porters’ lodge at 2pm on Sundays for training!
