The contribution of the Global lacrosse community to the growth and development of the game of lacrosse in Africa and Uganda to be specific can not be under estimated much as there is still too much work to be done as also we try to bring lacrosse to the Olympics.

YMCA LACROSSE-JINJA NILE ZULUS LACROSSE MAJOR DEV'TS FOR UGANDA LACROSSE.

YMCA Lacrosse team was awarded on 19/11/2016 as the most improved team of the 2016 UGLAXLEAGUE in great cheers and pleasure for this once a mere dream by Nakato Dorothy now a reality.

With enthusiastic leadership in Captain Ssazi Keneth and Mucunguzi Ronnie,Madhivani, Bukenya Shaniq and other will team mates,the journey of the team since the begining of 2016 has been more smooth.

JINJA NILE ZULUS (red) and YMCA WARRIORS (yellow) LACROSSE TEAM'S.

From the Eastern town of Jinja the Nile Zulus travel to Kampala for their league and tournament fixtures 80 km journey and still put up tight competition in every fixture.

The patron and coach-player Otoa Sam and Captain Milton work together with Mamawi Andrew,Bugembe,John Paul and many other teammates from Bukaya to make another set of great talent.

This thus far has been a great addition to the Uganda lacrosse teams that compete in league and tournament fixtures and also act as catchment of new talent.

This is a clear sign of consistence of the game of lacrosse in Uganda and a great influence in the region mostly for Kenya lacrosse.

Thank you for your selless efforts towards achieving this,for constant updates follow @Uganda_Lacrosse.

YMCA WARRIORS - UGANDA LACROSSE LEAGUE 2016.

YMCA WARRIORS LACROSSE TEAM #UGLAXLEAGUE 2016.

The 2016 lacrosse league is the most intricate to play in according to the history of the game in Uganda thus far due to the amount of skill and agility that the players possess.

For the new entrants into the league YMCA Warriors this was their opportunity to showcase their quick legs and faster adopting skills.

YMCA WARRIORS TEAM, Keneth (Capt), Shaniq, Madhivani,Stephen in order of appearance.

 The team fell 12-0 to the veterans laden MUBS Lacrosse team on the league opening day and closed the gap 7-8 on the return leg.

2nd game day was a derby against sister team YMCA Lite team that brought first win of the league 4-3 making the real start of enjoyment.

The easy ride win in the Eastern town of Jinja playing the Nile Zulus and winning 2-4 against the home team marked another milestone.

UNPREPARED MUBS LACROSSE TEAM AND LESSONS FROM 8-1 LOSS TO PANTHERS LACROSSE.

UNPREPARED MUBS LACROSSE TEAM AND LESSONS FROM 8-1 LOSS TO PANTHERS LACROSSE.
The biggest and first loss since team was formed at the beginning of the 2016 Uganda Lacrosse league, MUBS Lacrosse was enjoying an 100% win record and the narrowest being the YMCA WARRIORS 7-8 MUBS LACROSSE win away at Makerere University main sports grounds in August.

However the normal trend kind caused a complacency while the need to win in other competing teams grew unprecedentedly,on October 8th 2016,team Captain Anwar Jeff despite having 1st team goal keeper Okello James out with injury,he expected an old story of his key players in Patrick Oriana and Ochan Sam to score from all angles and win it without hustle.

Komakech,Anwar,Donald,Sam.Patrick,Alfred,Ivan,Nyakana,Ibrahim,Dalton,Faizo,BobNarry and Isaac L-R MUBS LACROSSE TEAM.

After a win against Jinja Nile Zulus,their plans were still working with Isaac Kimuli in goal (1st start 2016),this did not last long when the final game kicked off with a sink of 5-0 at half time and 8-1 at full time with Makanda Jaffari Ibrahim scoring the only consolation hard earned goal past the Panthers Lacrosse team cemented defense line in Otim Ronald,Okura John Paul and Akena Richard on rotation.

JUBILANT PANTHERS LACROSSE TEAM.
