Along with Stockport’s S. Wood, Henry Crofts was a late addition to the Great Britain squad for the 1928 Amsterdam Olympics. He played his club lacrosse as a defence-wing with the Eccles club, and was a regular member of the Lancashire side that dominated the County Championship in the 1920s. He was part of the team that enjoyed big wins over Middlesex in the 1925 and 1926 finals, winning 21-3 and 15-5, respectively. He was also in the team that beat London Counties 18-3 in the 1929 final. Crofts was a regular member of The North team in the annual fixture against The South throughout the 1920s, and in 1930 played in The North’s 22nd consecutive game without defeat, stretching back to 1902.
