Just in time! Poland has dropped the list of 23 names that will represent the Red and White in Israel for two-straight weeks of lacrosse action. Having seen everyone on this list play, I expect big things from this crew in a few weeks. The Polish finished 2nd in the Grey Division, just behind the Czech Republic, in 2014’s World Championships and 20th overall out of 38. They followed up in 2016 at the European Championships in Hungary with a 4-4 finish and 16th place.

There’s been incredible lacrosse development in Poland over the recent years and we’ve seen a lot of success from the Polish clubs on the international circuit. Their in the Olive pool with newcomer Luxembourg and a vscious Hong Kong squad. If they come out alive, that’s another top 20 finish, but that path moving forward won’t be easy. Let’s look at the 23 guys up for the job…
