MW Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 Most unis have teams, but in terms of the general public its not at all. Never seen it on tele or anything. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foluwashola Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 Posh people seem to enjoy it. Had to do a presentation once with a lass who plays for the Newcastle Uni team, nearly strangled the snobby twat. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ocho Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 I've only seen lacrosse in American Pie and the goalkeepers got no chance of saving a shot. Similar to handball, where the keeper performs a star jump in the hope that he might get smacked by the ball rather than saving a shot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
