Announcing Cougar Lacrosse Club’s June 10th Fishawack Invitational Lacrosse Festival and Winner of the Official Tee-Shirt Competition
The 8th Annual Chatham Fishawack Invitational Festival kicks off Sunday, June 10th, 2012. The Fishawack Lacrosse Invitational is a local sporting event and is all about having a great day out with local lacrosse enthusiasts. The festival was founded by Steve Kenety, who was involved with lacrosse for 30 years, as a player, referee and coach for Chatham Youth Lacrosse. The Fishawack Invitational celebrates his contributions to lacrosse and his festival objectives, to honor the great game of lacrosse, to get some exercise for the kids, and to have some fun and enjoy a beautiful day.
Watch the modern version of the old American Indian game of lacrosse played by 3rd to 8th grade boys on teams from Chatham, Madison, Morristown, and Wyckoff this year. This year's Lacrosse Fishawack Invitational takes place from 9am to 6 pm at Cougar Field on Watchung Avenue in Chatham. In case of inclement weather both Cougar and Shunpike turf fields will be used. There will be a Fastest Shot competition during the day with a prize for the winner of each grade.
