Clash of Sticks at Bayswater

Decided to try something different. In fact it was completely different but I'd have to say is one of Bayswater's hidden gems and people should know a bit more about it I think.

Halliday Park is home of Bayswater's team in the Western Australian Lacrosse League and they played host to Wanneroo in the men's state league. The contest was very heated and what may come as a complete shock to people unfamiliar to lacrosse it seemed the incredibly swift, sharp and often violent strikes on players was 'situation normal' all in the aim of dislodging the ball of the lacrosse stick.

The match was thoroughly entertaining with Wanneroo winning the game 5 to 12 despite a late surge from Bayswater yet wasn't enough to turn around the margin.

Food and drink at the place was very enjoyable. That is part of why I said it was a hidden gem. Nachos made fresh as you order for 4 dollars which is worth the price and better than most at pubs which charge around 3 times more which is a joke. Toasted sandwiches were 3 dollars and although on the small side in regards to being pressed incredibly thinly were still very tasty.

Drinks were value for money too with beers around 3 to 4 dollars with spirits at 6.50 which was the usual Jack Daniel's, Canadian Club and similarly popular ready to drink spirit varieties.

I would highly recommend anyone in the Bayswater area to take some time out to visit and just enjoy what Halliday Park has to offer.
