Sad news today that one of our Club “OG’s”, Bernie Bridge passed away.
Bernie became a Life Member in 1969 and was part of a solid A-Grade (Now State League) Team, winning many Premierships as a Captain over a ten year period in the 50’s and 60’s. He was said to be a great team man and an inspirational “ambidextrous” player, setting a high example of sportsmanship and talent. A valued State Player and Midfielder, he notched up numerous assists and often scored match winning goals. His contributions throughout our Club’s formative years are extremely highly regarded and appreciated.

Our Australian Women's Sixes team has been over at Brown University, in Rhode Islands, America, for the past week taking part in the inaugural training camp at the campus. Here's a snap of some of our Wembley stars, Elizabeth 'Buzzy' Hinkes, Sarah Forbes (assistant coach), and Ocea Leavy, from the camp.

For more information about the training camp, see the Lacrosse Australia article:

Great to see our Big Boys spending their "Sensible Sunday" together issuing special awards and sharing happy banter.

While our Wembley teams' seasons have come to an end, there's still the Lacrosse WA 2026 senior grand finals. Make sure to head to Leatherback Park to check out the action tomorrow, 29 August 2026.

Note: Stated fixture times vary across GameDay, Lacrosse WA socials, and hosts Alkimos Pirates socials. Please check times so you don't miss the action!

A bit late but here's the Match Report for last weekend, 22-23 August 2026. Tje penultimate week of the season saw our five junior teams contest their respective grand finals. A truly great achievement and effort for our juniors!

Our Men's Under 17s and Women's Under 17s claimed victory in their grand finals and finished the 2026 season as premiers!

Sadly, our Men's Under 13s, Women's Under 14s, and Men's Under 15s may not have walked away with the win on the day but gave their best, which is all we can ask.

Our final two senior teams, the Men's Division 2 and Women's Division 2 (Gold), saw their season come to an end in their preliminary finals, finishing up our club's 2026 season.

Our juniors' seasons may be over but we still have our Junior Wind-Up & Presentation Night to go. We can't wait to see our juniors together to celebrate the achievements and close the 2026 season.

Remember, food booking closes next Monday, 31 August 2026, so make sure to order now.

It was a nerve-wracking end to women's Division 2 (Gold) season with a 11-12 defeat against Wanneroo-Joondalup in their preliminary final. While Wanneroo-Joondalup got off to an early start, our women's team never gave up and brought the momentum back, levelling scores with a few minutes left. Well done on a great season, Division 2 (Gold)!

A sad end to our women's Under 14s season, going down 2-16 in today's grand final. Well done to the team for their journey qualifying for the grand final and keeping their heads up against a powerful East Fremantle team. Rest up, girls, and see you next season!
