Poynton A
Poynton Lacrosse Club trains and plays at: Poynton Sports Club, London Road North, Poynton, Cheshire, SK12 1AG
The club field a men's first team, a team and four youth development sides.
In what will undoubtedly be a very competitive NEMLA Division 4, this season's Poynton’s ‘A’ Team will rely on a combination of experience and youth, with several players moving from the junior ranks into the senior game for the first time.
The lacrosse section of Poynton Sports Club was formed in 1973, but the
club itself was founded in 1889 as Offerton Lacrosse Club. By the mid
to late 1800's, interest in the sport was growing, influenced mainly by
a series of exhibition tours by Canadian teams who had travelled to
Britain to organise exhibition matches. Later similar tours included
Native American teams and such was the interest created that many
lacrosse clubs were established in and around the Manchester area,
several of which still exist today.
