Wales Already Thinks About WC2014

Wed, 02 May 2012 22:02:21 +0000

Wales Men’s Lacrosse World Championships Start Now

2014 and the Men’s Lacrosse World Championships may seem distant, but not for the Welsh Senior Men’s Team Manager, Mike Evans. Mike is using the forthcoming British National Championships to identify potential players for the 2014 World Championships in Denver, Colorado. Mike says ‘players with the potential to be senior internationals in two years time will be very much in our minds this weekend. We want players with the skills, physical attributes and mental toughness to be part of our development programme over the next two years in the run up to Denver’.

This weekend, 4 and 5 May, sees Wales Lacrosse sending three men’s teams to the British National championships in Manchester. The Wales Dragons who are the senior men’s team, Wales U19 and a debut for a team representing Wales Universities. The weekend is part of a rigorous training schedule for the U19 s who take part in the U19 World Championships in Finland in July, as well as for the senior side who are in the European Championships in Amsterdam in June 2012.

Any players who consider they have Welsh connections and who wish to try out for the Wales 2014 squad should click here to contact the Wales Lacrosse Men's Performance team. Head coach Dan Funnell, veteran of three World Championships, said ‘We’ve already set up the two year training programme, including the 2013 Five Nations tournament in Dublin, August 2013. Opposition will be Ireland, Scotland, Italy and France. Competition for places will be fierce and if you’re Welsh and play lacrosse, Denver is the place to be!’
