The first Keeper of the Crown Jewels was appointed in 1207 and the title has varied over the centuries. Over time, the Keeper of the Jewel House became more of a ceremonial position and had less and less to do with the day-to-day functions of Jewel House.
Womenâs lacrosse is played with a team of 12 players, including the goalkeeper during usual play. The ball used is typically yellow, unless both teams agree to use a different coloured ball. The duration of the game is 60 minutes, with two halves.
Matches are generally played by two teams of 11 to a side. The goalkeeper is included in the 11-player total. If a team cannot field at least seven players at match time, the game is a forfeit. Teams of fewer than 11 a side can often be seen in youth leagues where smaller teams are used as a developmental tool.
