Personal lacrosse memories about league games hosted last at MUBS are rich with excitement says one Twesiime Liberty a second half substitute in the Panthers 4-3 Strykers triumph for the mighty Panthers who finished 2nd in that season.

"I scored the equalizer against Strykers to make it 3 up and the winning goal that put us one game shy from being crowned the league champions 2013''.

The game featured Tukire Yunus,Keneth Kasule,Micheal Bahizi,Makanda Ibrahim for Strykers and for Panthers Onen Castro,Mugume Diaz,Okello Francis and Otim Ronald. 

"We however couldn't beat Oneonta on the last day of the league which made Strykers win it with just a single point".

#LACROSSEYOURHEART LIBERTYFOUNDATION2050 DINNER 03/09/2016.

#LACROSSEYOURHEART LIBERTYFOUNDATION2050 DINNER 03/09/2016.
Juniors lacrosse programs support is one of the major projects that have benefited from the 
Liberty Foundation 2050. that has since held holiday three annual lax camps last last weekend that proceeded a beach lacrosse festival in 2015.

HAVING THE SAME GOALS MAKES US A TEAM.

The core interest of the program is to instill character and discipline that would enable them benefit more from their studies and also to grow their talents to an even higher level.

Unlike in America and parts of Europe where players from the middle class homes dominate in the game of lacrosse,in most African lacrosse communities it's not the norm.
OTIM RONALD OFFICIATING THE GAMES.

This makes it necessary for such programs as this headed by strategic people to share knowledge on which will form basis for all the benefactors to evolve into better citizens socially and economically.

CASTRO DAVID ONEN TALKING TO THE PLAYERS.

   As a day one lacrosse player and strategist Mr 
Twesiime Liberty clearly understands the advantage of such activities which he says increases cohesion among the not so big lacrosse community and also gives more chance the juniors talent approval by competing in as many organized games as possible in any given holiday.

SHARING IS CARING.
