Scott Dagnanleach to Howard CC

Scott Dagnanleach Midfield, Poynton

Co Captain - Knights Tour 2013

Scott is leaving the UK on the 17th July 14 to coach at the Naval Academy and has also committed to play at Howard Community College in Maryland for their 2014-2015 season! 

Scott has been an integral part of Knights lacrosse over the past 4 years as a player and coach gaining All Star status at the Gait Cup in 2014, he is only the 2nd player to do this in Knights History! 

He has worked very hard to reach his goals and complete his dream of playing in the US College system, Scott is one of the best players to come out of the Knights program and is a great example to the next generation because of his hard work, leadership and likeable character!

You will be missed and I'm sure everyone will join me in wishing you all the best for the future and new challenge!

Scott brother Owen will be part of the Knights 2017 tour and want to thank Scott's Father Karl and Mother Jane for all their support, you're great to have around!

All the best Dags!

Knight selected in Under Armour JUCO All-American Game

2011 Knight - Jake Weddell has been selected (via tryout) to represent the North, in the first Under Armour All-American JUCO Elite Games on July 11th in Towson, MD, USA.

It's an honour and proud moment to have a Knight and English player showcasing in these games! The USA, Iroquois and Canadian players have been well represented in the Under Armour weekend in the past, Jake will be the first English Born player to take part!

I know that we will have more players in the JUCO jr college system very soon and think it is a great way for our players to improve their game and get used to life in the US! The bonus is that you will be seen by other coaches, promoted by your own coach and this will increase the chances of being offered places and maybe scholarships at a larger school in the NCAA DI, DII or DII or play in recruiting events like this! 

Congratulations from everyone at Knights!

2013 U19 All-Star Game

I was proud to once again to see how many Knights played in the All Star Game, 21 players from our 2011 and 2013 appeared, unfortunatley Lewis Curtis had already left for Australia and Toby Hawksley picked up an injury 

I have attached the link below to the ELA Article on the game, watch out for video highlights on the ELA website.

It was another great one goal game as it was in 2012.

The Eastern All-Stars win their second annual U19 All-Star game in another thrilling game at Timperley Lacrosse Club. The two evenly matched teams produced an exciting end-to-end game, and an excellent exhibition of the games up and coming talent.

The West All-Stars scored the games first goal thanks to a great individual effort from Tim Collins. Collins also had an excellent game at the face-off X winning 8 from 19 contested and drawing East’s LSM Ben Ready to contain his forward play. East’s second goal came in transition when LSM Will Alsop found Dan Watson open on the crease.

Poynton Lacrosse Club were well represented on the Eastern All-Star team, fresh from their U19 A League victory. Ciaran Johnson and Alex Russell represented their club with distinction and scored the opening two goals to even the game at the end of the first quarter. Q1(2-2) The East piled on the pressure in the second quarter and their hard work paid-off with a great solo effort from Scott Dagnanleach putting the East into the lead. The score line would have been extended further if it were not for Heaton Mersey’s Elliot Hurry who had an excellent game between the pipes for the Western All-Stars making some crucial saves. Q2(2-3) Cameron Parks lead the West’s comeback in the third scoring two great goals. Parks had an excellent game on both sides of the field for the West and was instrumental in his team’s comeback. The West’s Will Hardy also looked impressive coming out of midfield. His size and lightening split dodge drew allot of attention from the East defence and his hard work paid off with the West’s fifth goal.

Rochdale’s Rhys Fallows lead the talented East offence, possessing good size and stick skills, his aggressive play and ability to get open allowed him to finish as the games top scorer with three goals. Fallows scored two of his three in the third to even up the score ahead of the final period. Q3(5-5)

The fourth quarter delivered a nail-biting ending to an enjoyable game with both goalies producing a string of great saves to keep their teams in contention. The stalemate was broken by the West with a goal from Tim Nichol, it was soon followed by a great low-to-low effort from Scott Dagnanleach to equalize the game.
Sheffield’s Will Hardy soon put the West back in the lead with another alley dodge and outside shot. Rhys Fallows rounded off his game with his third and final goal taking the score back to evens.

The winner came from Poynton’s Josh Noel who scored in the dying moments of the game to win it for the East. Q4(8-7) North West Lacrosse Association would like to thank the Refereeing staff, Dom Fitzgerald at McLellan Clothing Ltd for providing the shirts worn by both squads and Timperley Lacrosse Club for hosting the game.
