24 LAX players leave tour with team tattoos

If you’ve ever been into Liquid VIP on Wednesday night you’ll know that sports teams don’t just drink – they skite. Hard.

Where some students down, they strawpedo. Where others streak, they bathe naked in the sinks.

They are, and always have been, in a league of their own.

But this year, the lacrosse club outdid even their fellow sports teams.

The men’s and women’s LAX teams have just returned home from their Dublin tour. The stories include:

– A near-arrest after a McDive (diving over the counter in McDonald’s).

– Giant spooning mid-game on the field.

– The theft of a Bristol boy’s trousers (she gave him his wallet and keys back but wore the trousers home).

-Foreskin shots.

But the majority came back with more than just stories…

Some have come back with different hair.

James’ parents weren’t so  impressed: “They just looked at me and said, “And you’re going to be a doctor.””

Numerous have new piercings.

“Tour was indescribably amazing.” – Hannah Blackford

Some are missing an eyebrow.

“It was scavenger hunt list, and I didn’t want to lose so I thought I’d take one for the team and shave my eyebrow off… turns out we did lose anyway. My mum said: “I thought you had more balls than this”. Was she expecting me to shave off both?” – Emma Lister

…and 24 have come back with tattoos.

“What a week, Rachel. Too much too young.” – Megan Burgoyne, Captain of AUWLC 1sts.

“Just a few naughty pints.” – Andrew Rogers

“Once again AUWLC showed we are rasher, bigger and better when it comes to skiting than the rest!” – Emily Hudson, Social for AUWLC.

This is all due to an impressive Scavenger Hunt  – other things on the list included shaving your head for 110 points, eat a stranger’s food for 15, and get a boy’s boxers for 15:

The club is only four years old, but growing ever stronger and larger. This year, the women’s President Megan Burgoyne was picked for the Scotland Lacrosse Home International Squad, proving the club is producing talent as well as phenomenal drinking skills.

Dublinfest is an annual Lacrosse tournament attracting teams from all over the UK. Ali Mog from the Men’s team and Catriona from the Women’s organised the club’s attendance to great success:

Catriona said: “One of the aspects of the scavenger hunt was to ‘do something crazy’, So we ate a few chillis but didn’t think that was quite doing the job. So I sent the freshers on a pigeon hunt. They had to catch a live pigeon to release into the hostel, kind of like a romantic dove moment.

“But being freshers, and drunk on Guinness, they misinterpreted the instructions … And instead of coming back with a live pigeon, they brought a dead one in a fishing net. But there was so much rowdiness the hostel staff didn’t even notice.”

Aberdeen’s LAX teams won the social trophy and came second overall in the tournament – even more impressive when you consider the hangovers they were playing through.

They even had a tour funnel named Jackie, who was a menace according to Captain Megan:

“Jackie 3.0 was not kind to anyone, even the old girls didn’t escape her clutches.”

They are swiftly becoming a sports club to be reckoned with and show no signs of slowing down, attracting more members every year.

With tours like this, we can see why.
