That is one long reach for the Richmond Roadrunners’ big stick defender as his team hosted the Delta Footmen in U11 Pacific Coast Field Lacrosse League action last Sunday at Minoru Park.

Richmond players helped B.C. teams bring home medals from the 2017 Canadian Field Lacrosse Championships, held earlier this month in Saskatoon.

Matthias Campbell was a member of the gold-medal winning U15 B.C. team that captured the Alumni Cup with a thrilling 10-8 overtime win over Ontario in the championship game.

B.C.’s attack scored a tournament-high 80 goals in five games, helping them pull away in extra time to win gold and put an end to Ontario’s run of three straight titles at the U15 age group.

Meanwhile, Sewanee Baker was a member of B.C.’s silver medal team in the U18 division.

Ontario captured its third straight First Nations Trophy with a hard-fought 17-13 win.

Baker was recognized for his strong tournament by being named to the U18 all-star game.
