Lacrosse – Scotland men appeal for cash ahead of World Championships

Scotland’s men’s lacrosse team has launched an online fundraiser to compete at the 2018 Federation of International Lacrosse World Championships in Israel.

They are ranked No 6 in the world and the event would mark their debut at the premier level of world lacrosse. Historically, Lacrosse Scotland’s national teams have been self-funded.

Due to the increased costs of competing at the top level the men have partnered with a fund-raising company.

Recently, Scottish Hockey launched a fund-raising campaign to fund their participation in the World League semi-finals in London later this month.

Chris Tihansky, a spokesman for the lacrosse squad, said: “The Dreamfuel fund-raising campaign is a great opportunity for all Scots to show their support for the men’s national lacrosse team.

“This team has proved it can compete on the world stage and I hope we can unite to provide the funding necessary to adequately prepare for the Worlds in 2018.”
