Spotlight on Chumash:

The indoor league for lacrosse, Chumash, launched at the start of the term. Working closely with Tom Neilly, as a Kent Union Sports Executive, the team put together a programme of taster sessions, league games, two week cup and a round robin, to run across the term. With new and regular players now taking part, the format has been really successful and we hope to build on this next term when the league is launched again. In addition, we are now working with the women’s lacrosse club to promote new opportunities to join the club and promote the sport.

This week the results were as follows:

Rutherford Roughnecks vs Tur/Woolf Typhlosions 3-3

Eliot Eiderdowns vs Darwin Outlaws 3-2

Darwin Outlaws vs Rutherford Roughnecks 5-3
