The LAF is thrilled to be a part of the launch & sales of
LACROSSE IN AUSTRALIA
This is a book that tells the story of an ambitious and adventurous young man who changed the sporting landscape in Australia by introducing the sport of lacrosse into Melbourne in 1876. Lambton Mount is heralded as the undisputed initiator and ‘father’ of lacrosse in Australia.
His story and that of the birth and early development of Australia’s great lacrosse clubs are documented in this book against the backdrop of the expansion of the sport across colonial borders, the coming of Australian Federation, the beginnings of women’s lacrosse and the interruption by war.
This is a ‘must have’ book for everyone who has come under the enduring spell of this unique sport.
The LAF is very happy to have been approached by the author, Doug Fox, to work with him in the process of distributing the books ordered, and to receive profits from the sale of this book as a donation to the LAF to assist our mission of supporting the growth and development of lacrosse across Australia.
This gesture is generous and greatly appreciated.
Thank you Doug for your book and for supporting the LAF and lacrosse.’
Together we can Grow the Game.
With your support, Lambton Mount will continue to grow the game.
