The University of Sheffield Lacrosse team was first founded in the
autumn of 1961, consisting of those previous to the sport and also
beginners. The first year was mainly friendly matches but by 1962 the
mens team participated in the 4th division of the Northern Legaue. By
1965 the team moved up to the 2nd division, reaching the University Cup
finals. Notably the team has on several occassions played in the Senior
Flags Final.
Even though orignally the teams colours were black
and orange (as adopted by the alumni team Jedi Lacrosse) the official
colours of todays team are Tangerine and Royal Blue. Hence the adopted
nickname...the TANGER ARMY!
In recent years the team have began
to re-establish themselves with the 2009 mens team winning a league/cup
double and the university championship, as well as being awarded Team
of the Year at the University Annual Sports Awards Dinner!!!
