Senior Gold Captures Championship

Newtown’s U15 Gold boys’ lacrosse team captured the Southwest Conference Championship Brookfield on June 5. The team compiled a 3-0 record during the day of play, including victories over New Fairfield and Relax which had triumphed over Newtown earlier in the season.

The day started with a fiercely competitive victory over New Fairfield which was led by a strong defensive effort from Cameron Partrick and outstanding transition play from long pole middie Doug Miller. Midfielder, Alec Beauchemin, controlled the faceoffs all day and led the scoring barrage including a “Braveheart” (one-on-one faceoff then score after a tie) victory over Brookfield in the second game. The championship game against Relax was a true team effort with every player contributing to the victory.  The attack, led by Cody Ryan, finished several nice scoring plays and Stephen Walsh and Doug Miller ran outstanding transition opportunities.

The tournament win would not have been possible without the stellar play between the pipes from Casy Fuller. His saves and pinpoint outlet passes were key in the win.
