Shamrocks grab Founders’ gold

Calgary Shamrocks are Founders’ Cup champions! The Shamrocks built a five-goal advantage in the final and held on to defeat Six Nations Rebels 16-15.

It is the first time in 10 years (Calgary Mountaineers in 2009) a team outside of Ontario captured the gold medal.

The gold medal capped off an incredible season for the Shamrocks who won the Rocky Mountain Lacrosse League South Division title with a 19-1-0 regular season. Calgary would go on to win the Larry Bishop Memorial Trophy league championship as well as sweeping the best-of three Alberta Provincials.
