Lacrosse Links: Australian Lacrosse Fans Impressed By All-Star Series

October 30th, 2009 by Danielle Bernstein

We’re officially a week removed from the NLL All-Star Series in Australia and even still, the East’s two-game sweep over the West remains a hot topic among lacrosse fans, and not necessarily for the games themselves. Sure there were highlight reel goals from the likes of John Grant, Jr., Gary Gait and Mark Steenhuis and even a fight between Australian players Wes Green and Keith Nyberg, but don’t forget that more than 7,000 fans showed up to watch, which would rank 10th in the NLL if it was put alongside the league’s season average attendance numbers. Needless to say, the sport is set to take some big strides down under in the near future.
