Strangely, Sol cares about this sport (8)

I believe the answer is:

lacrosse

(Other definitions for lacrosse that I've seen before include "Sport played with sticks" , "Game played with netted sticks" , "Score's uncertain after the Spanish" , "Like thirteen of the other clues in the French" , "Game played with nets on sticks" .)

I've seen this clue in the Irish Times (Simplex) and The Irish Times.
