Bath Lacrosse Club have opened the registration for the 2021 edition of their annual Bath Eights tournament, taking place on 4 September this year.
After last year’s event was cancelled due to the on-going coronavirus pandemic, the organisers are excited to open registration for this year’s competition and are confident, given the Government’s roadmap to ease restrictions, that the tournament will be able to go ahead in September.
The Bath Eights tournament is the traditional lacrosse season opener and dates back to 1986 when Low Profilers (Sheffield) won the men’s competition.
A women’s six-as-side version of the tournament is now into its fourth year having been won in previous years by Stockport, Bristol Bombers, and Bath University.
Hillcroft Lacrosse Club are the reigning men’s champions and all funds raised from the event go towards the club development fund at Bath Lacrosse Club, which continues to help grow the sport in the local area.
Each year, the event goes from strength to strength and this year’s competition is sure to be a fantastic occasion after not being able to play much lacrosse for the past year.
Under the current Government and England Lacrosse guidance, the Bath Eights tournament would not be able to take place; however, Bath Lacrosse Club are hopeful, given the Government’s roadmap to ease restrictions, that the tournament will be allowed to go ahead come September.
With this in mind, Bath Lacrosse Club will be following any and all coronavirus restrictions that may be in place at the time of the event and you can read more about the current restrictions HERE.
