Brief Club History
In 2014 the Bayswater Lacrosse Club will be in its 75th year, an achievement any club would be proud to acknowledge. The Bayswater Lacrosse Club was established in 1939 when it became affiliated with the Western Australian Lacrosse Association, the controlling body for Lacrosse in WA. The Club was founded by local residents under the then leadership of Mr Jim Priestman.
The Club has been established at Halliday Park as a home ground continuously since 1949. We have therefore been established as a member of the Bayswater community for 75 years and based at Halliday Park for 65 years. During this time the club enjoyed a reputation as being hard working, hard playing and a healthy survivor in the City of Bayswater and the lacrosse fraternity.
The last 75 years has seen many highlights both on and off the lacrosse field, some of which are listed below:
