The hard work of the past few weeks paid off as Den Haag Knights beat Groningen by 5-3 in the first round of the Dutch Lacrosse League. The Knights went up by an early goal but Groningen came back and the two teams followed each other close during the whole game. Attack, midfield, defense and in particular goalies played a super game but it was the overall team work and commitment that led to this fantastic victory (Den Haag won 33 out of 53 ground balls). What a first step for the new team - next game in the league is after Christmas and Den Haag will work hard to continue its victory streak.

Den Haag Lacrosse will from now on go under the name "The Knights"
Background: One of the most famous buildings in Den Haag is De Ridderzaal (Knight's Hall) - as such Knights is the perfect name for a team that will play and fight for this great city that also happens to be the hooftstad of Zuid-Holland, the regeringszetel van Nederland and the judicial capital of the WORLD.
Team colors are green and yellow and anyone having visited Den Haag will have seen these colors around town - the rest of the Netherlands will from now on see these colors on the city's new lacrosse team as they go out and play for glory ;-)
GO KNIGHTS

Den Haag "field trip" to Amsterdam vs. Utrecht
|
On Monday October 3, Den Haag Lacrosse went to Amsterdam where Amsterdam Lions were taking on Utrecht Devils. Three Den Haag players actually played the game for Amsterdam whereas the others watched and got a better understanding of lacrosse. The game ended with a 8-0 victory to Amsterdam.
The game clearly showed that Den Haag is not too far behind the other teams in the Netherlands and with hard work and dedication moving forward the team from the "City of Peace and Justice" (!) looks to shake up the Dutch lacrosse landscape quite a bit in the future.

Over the past few weeks we have had many new players join our team - we had thus dedicated the month of September to "rookie nights" where all basics of lacrosse would be covered. Due to popular demand and more people sending emails about their interest in the game our rookie training will continue through the month of October - this means that anyone interested in trying lacrosse can show up for practice and they will be go through a practice where we focus on the fundamentals of lacrosse.
We got equipment for you so all you need to bring are some shoes (e.g. soccer cleats) and shorts/tshirt.
Should you be interested in trying out lacrosse, drop us a mail at info@denhaaglacrosse.nl

Practices will continue every Monday from 18:00-19:30 in Zuiderpark (see details under Schedule)
Watch out Emmen, Groningen, Maastricht and Amsterdam - Den Haag is coming out strong....
