The Kelowna Raiders captured the Shaw Cup, Canada’s oldest lacrosse symbol, in front of a large crowd at Kelowna Memorial Arena last evening! The Raiders beat the Armstrong Shamrocks 9 to 6 in a crowd dazzling, come-from-behind effort. Kelowna’s defence held the Shamrock’s big guns Logan Strohm and Steve Clark to two goals apiece. Meanwhile, Kelowna rookie Luke Bailey dazzled the crowd with  3g, 2a. Strong performances by captain Kyle MacLennan 2g, 3a, and veteran Pho Heng 5a, and singles from Jacob Illichmann, Braden Renner and Victor Wiens rounded out the scoring. Goaltender Graham Cousins had another outstanding performance in net, stopping many Armstrong fast breaks all evening.

The Raiders are now eligible to move on to the Provincials in Prince George. Unfortunately, due to time, money and work commitments, the team will not be participating this year.

THE RAIDERS WOULD LIKE TO THANK ALL OF THEIR LOYAL FANS AND GREAT SPONSORS FOR SUPPORT OVER THE PAST SEASON!
