Totally agree with wacs 10 wishing you all the best for these games.
Leave everything you've got on the pitch and no matter win or lose you will have no regrets.
The talent you have will come through.
Have a great games.

The U19s will face very tough competition as this is a World Championship and not Europeans

USA
Canada
Iroquois Nationals

are stacked with players who are already playing at the highest level of competition, NCAA Div I & NLL

Not to mention the Aussies who love nothing more than beating up Pommies :twisted:

Good Luck to all the Players, Coaches & Management

Enjoy every minute of it and give it your best

Nobody can ask anymore of you

You will learn a lot as you go through the tournament, take it all in and use it to your advantage

safe trip and no injuries or illnesses to all concerned

Every single one of you have earned your place on this TEAM

Best of British :D

Japan; very expensive; other priorities.

And Japan are not going to Finland this year, for similar reasons...

Japan don't have junior lacrosse so are concentrating their efforts on Seniors

4th is an admirable achievement

A medal would be an exceptional performance

Success should be measured on playing to potential not results

You can not control how well or much your opponent has improved - Only how much you have improved

The cards are stacked against England winning a medal but that's why they play the games
