Lacrosse hasn't taken place at the Olympics in 124 years. In 2028, that will change! With the exciting news that Lacrosse is coming back for LA 2028, I was lucky enough to catch up with England Internationals Anna Neville and Alice Ripper.

Having both started playing lacrosse at the start of their teenage years, they have gone from strength to strength representing England across the age groups and around the globe. Most recently Alice got back from Hong Kong where GB lacrosse were crowned victorious.

Off the field lacrosse is different from a lot of the sports which we have hosted on this podcast. Still being an amateur sport, funding is a major issue across both the mens and womens games. Players are forced to raise money or face paying out of their own pocket if they wish to fulfil their dream of playing for England.

Alice and Anna open up to us about the demand and excitement growing around the game and chat all things past, present and future in what is an insightful and entertaining 40 minutes!

From everyone at The Tap and Go and the Sports Social Network we wish them and England lacrosse the best of luck in their upcoming games!
