On Sunday, 21st of May 2017 the Viennese teams - Monarchs and Cherokees - headed to Prague for the third ALL gameday.

Both Austrian teams were short of players (Vienna Monarchs girls had no substitution player at all) but did their best on the field!

Results:
SIS Flamingo 16 - 1 Vienna Cherokees
Vienna Cherokees 7 - 16 Vienna Monarchs
Vienna Monarchs 6 - 13 SIS Flamingo

For the Vienna Cherokees the league 2017 is over, the other teams will meet again at the final gamedayon 10th of June in Graz .

The Vienna Monarchs found themselves, yet again, competing at the Lax in the Box – box lacrosse tournament in Dresden, Germany, 5th-7th of May 2017. The Monarchs had their eyes set on a great tournament including opponents from Germany, the Netherlands, Poland and the Czech Republic.

After taking the trip up North, the Monarchs slowly started to arrive Friday evening at the Hotel Adler and wasted no time, but made sure to get the rest they needed for meeting Team Germany (Deutschland Adler) for their first game of the tournament the very next day.

The first weekend of March brought us up north, more precisely to Münster in North Rhine-Westphalia. The first obstacle was surviving a ten hour car ride in two nine-seat buses and arriving in Münster late at night.

The first gameday of the ALL 2017 could have ended better for our women's team. Results are:

Graz Gladiators 5 - 4 Vienna Monarchs
Vienna Monarchs 14 - 1 Vienna Cherokees
Vienna Cherokees 2 - 8 Graz Gladiators

We are eager to see how things go! Now the motto is full attack for the remaining season!

On April 1, 2017, the first gameday of the Austrian Lacrosse League 2017 will take place @ FC Hellas Kagran.

Schedule:
10:30 Graz Gladiators - Vienna Monarchs

12:30 Vienna Monarchs - Vienna Cherokees

14:30 Vienna Cherokees - Graz Gladiators

We are happy to welcome friends and fans there!!!

The Monarchs familiy already celebrated Christmas on December 2nd. We met in the canteen of the FC Hellas Kagran and had a very tasty Christmas meal there. Afterwards MVP (most valuable player) and ROTY (Rookie of the year) were awarded. Later, some of us let the evening finally end in a inner city bar.

Elected by the teams:

ROTY: Isabella Haidenberger & Marvin Lerch

MVP: Nicole Küntzel & Cédric Grferer

Congratulations to the elected and we wish you merry Christmas and a happy new year!

At the end of this Autumn’s preparation season, the ladies applying for the Austrian Lacrosse National Team, visited the Czech Republic for some friendly games. Amongst the team were also eight Lady Monarchs.

The icy temperatures seemed to have frozen the players in place at the beginning of the first game against LCC Radotin and the creative and fast Czech players dominated from the start. The Austrian team was not able to control the fast pace of the attack and the usually very strong defense couldn’t reassemble in time.

The Lady Monarchs returned from Belgium with an awesome and well deserved fifth place at the Lacrosse Champions League, the Ken Galluccio Cup 2016!

On July 3rd, the final gameday of the season, the Lady Monarchs were able to finish the lacrosse season undefeated and win the sought-after championship title. In 2016 the Austrian Lacrosse League was fortunate to have the Budapest Blackberries join who bravely fought in their first league appearance. During a total of four games the Vienna Cherokees, Graz Gladiators, Vienna Monarchs and the Budapest Blackberries fought for the league victory. A big thank you goes out to all the players and to our coaches who prepared us well and were responsible for our strong performance on the field.
