Last night saw the start of the RAD SHEEP Summer Lacrosse League in Manchester.

The league has been organised by the English Lacrosse Association with the aim of bringing orgianised competative lacrosse to the summer. And to keep the Refs and Players on their toes – new rules have been introduced.

RAD SHEEP created a new ‘ZEBRA’ design for the referees shirts and Funky Vests and Shorts for the draft players.

The team names of Albert Park and Blackley Park were chosen from old Manchester based teams that have since folded.

Liverpool Lacrosse club won the Lancashire Cup at the NEMLA Flags Festival weekend.

They wore their RAD SHEEP shirts as they beat Leeds 12 -10 in the Cup final at Rochdale lacrosse club on Sunday 10th April.

Other winning teams wearing their RAD SHEEP kit were Timperley B,  Timperley U12′s and Poynton U16′s

Special mention to Timperley B as this was the first time we had a team play in our new FUNKY SHORTS.

Great sunny weekend with big crowds and exciting lax games.

Well done to all the volunteers at Rochdale Lacrosse club for putting on a great event.

Manchester, 8 December 2010 – Lacrosse, arguably the fastest growing sport in the country, has today made a case to government for continued development funding. With the future of sports funding currently under review, the English Lacrosse Association, the sport’s national governing body, has taken the opportunity to highlight the huge strides it has made over the past 18 months, to support its case for further funding.

“Six years ago there were six universities playing Men’s Lacrosse in UK. There are now more than 60, says the English Lacrosse Association”.

According to English Lacrosse during the period April 2009 to Nov 2010 its membership has grown by over 42% from 14,700 to 20,909. During the same period the number of under16s attending after school community clubs to play lacrosse has risen from 18,690 to 29,563. By any measure, says English Lacrosse, this is a massive step forward and demonstrates our commitment to growing the sport at grass roots level.

The English Lacrosse Association also believes it represents a good investment for the funding it has received from central government. “The Lacrosse Development Programme is a great example of how a sport can utilise its volunteer community base to complement the public funding the sport receives” said David Shuttleworth, CEO, English Lacrosse. “The Programme is a scheme employing over 110 professional coaches worth nearly £3,000,000 pa , money raised by community clubs and schools, organized, managed and monitored by English Lacrosse staff who are supported by £575, 000 pa of public funding. For every £1 of public funding there is £5 of community funding realized-real value for money.”

“The funding has helped support the growth of the game beyond the school gates too,” says Shuttleworth “There has been a growth in clubs and teams in higher education where both men’s and women’s Lacrosse are growing by 20% per year. Six years ago there were six universities playing Men’s Lacrosse in UK. There are now more than 60, says English Lacrosse”.

The English Lacrosse Association is very aware of the constraints on future funding for sports, however, it believes that, with its record for returning huge value for any funding received, it should be included in any funding plans. “English Lacrosse appreciates that in times of economic difficulty there are no areas , particularly sport, which should be immune from having to make sacrifices”, said David Shuttleworth. “However, sport does have a vital role to play in encouraging a healthy lifestyle and in creating strong and vibrant communities, core values of this current government.”

There seems to be lots of UK sportswear companies claiming to offer customised kits. But when you look behind the headlines what the majority are offering is basic off the shelf kit from overseas manufacturers – which they buy in and decorate with heat applied vinyl logos and embroideries.

But there are a few true UK manufacturers like RAD SHEEP that start with the core white fabric and then dye sub print the unique design for each team kit onto the performance polyester panels. Once printed the panels are then sewn together, checked and sent out to the individual teams. A typical order for 20 football/cricket/lacrosse shirts and shorts will be delivered direct to the team within 4 weeks of them approving the design visual.

So, if you are thinking who to place your next order with – ask the companies where the kit is actually manufactured and how long will the process take.

Please support the true British manufacturers and help the UK economy recover
