The Redneck Rumble lacrosse tournament returned to Strathmore over the weekend.
The event featured 18 teams from across the province, including as far as Edmonton, at the Strathmore Family Centre. Ages ranged from U15 to U17.
"It was wonderful. We had lots of competitive teams from all over the place," said chairman director Andrea Blackley. "It was really good, well put on, and a good, competitive tournament."
The U15B and U17B Venom teams placed bronze in the tournament, with the U15C team barely missing third spot.
The tournament culminated in a junior matchup between the Venom and the Calgary Wranglers.
"The Venom did miss out of a win on that one," added Blackley. "It was a tough, hard-fought game."
The weekend-long tournament also featured a raffle, colouring contests, and a presentation of the Luke Loftus Award, which sponsors families to offset costs and expenses for playing lacrosse.
The Venom have been taking part in the tournament for the last 16 years.
