Tricksters lacrosse
club started the season in 2013 in great style. On the international
tournament Silesia Cup 2013 Wroclaw they enjoyed the victory as well
as in the 2010.
The boys went on a
trip early Saturday morning. Meeting was scheduled for 5:30, but as
usual, they set off at 6:00. The road ran pretty quickly, cities
were disappearing in the distance, rising sun and everyone was
already looking forward to the arrival to the Polish capital, which
was scheduled for 12.00.
Arrival in Wroclaw
was a dream come true. After six hours the sun came out from behind
the clouds at the Olympic areas and fore Trickster were waiting their
first opponent - Rotterdam Jaguar. From the beginning on the field
only one team was visible and again we saw that the Dutch are higher
quality only on a national representative level. The second team of
Dutch league was escorted by Tricksters from the field with result
7:0.
The next match at
this day was against Katowice - Poland. It is a club which is
beginning one the field of lacrosse, so boys from Bratislava had no
problems with this team. They officially won 14:0, perhaps even more
- with so many goals is not hard to make a mistake.
The third match of
this day was a bit more challenging. Tricksters played against the
Belgrade Zombies. Their efforts to contact was reflected in often
penalties, but this time Tricksters failed to take advantage of the
play, the 3-2 situation with this Serbian club seemed to trouble
them. But then orange then jumped into a higher gear and they came to
the end of the match with a winning score of 7:2.
The second day was
beautiful and sunny again. Tricksters lacrosse team in the
semi-finals faced with host club Kosynierzy Wroclaw. Entering into
the details, for Bratislava guys that last contact with the Polish
lacrosse team did not went well. At the World Championships in
Manchester Poland defeated Slovakia 11:6. Although the balance of
power went back to the Slovaks. Tricksters opponent was pushed until
they woke up in the last two minutes of the match, when a state was
10:1. Quickly, the Kosynierzy Wroclaw team managed to score two
goals. However, the final result was clear - 10:3 for Tricksters.
Tricksters are therefore able to fight their way to the final, where
someone of the two: Prievidza Hedahunterz or Dredlax, is waiting for
them.
Finally, the Slovak
dream final did not take place because Prievidza lost in the second
semi-final in overtime 6:5. In the finals were Tricksters and again,
after three years, Dredlax Lacrosse Club from England. In 2010 in the
finals of Croydon Lacrosse tournament, Tricksters were defeated. The
meeting was played at 4 × 15 minutes and English players have shown
their quality throughout the match. Tricksters overcame the opponent
and managed to get ahead in the score. Final result 9:4 meant total
victory in the tournament for Bratislava Tricksters.
The road home was
indeed painful, buttocks enjoyed a good dose of tingling, but a
feeling of victory meant much more. The tournament was hilarious, the
weather was 100% perfect and Tricksters again proved that they can
play lacrosse.
