Stockport Lacrosse Club in Greater Manchester are set to host a brand new competition working within the rules and framework of the new 6-a-side rules.
The competition will take place over two days in September, with a junior competition taking place on Saturday 11th and a senior tournament on Sunday 12th.
Any and all teams, whether they are from the north or the south of England, men’s or women’s, are welcome and clubs are able to enter more than one team in each age group/category, with maximum numbers of 10 players per team.
The cost of entry to the Stockport September Sixes competition is a discounted £20 per team if paid prior to 1st September 2021, with entry after this date moving to £30 per team.
Stockport will be working hard to obtain assistance with officials but a requirement for entry to the tournament will be for each team to provide their own referee/umpire to cover each game.
The event will take place at Stockport Lacrosse Club, Beech Road, Stockport, SK3 8HD and the proposed competition schedule will look something like this:
Junior Competition (Saturday 11th September)
U12 Boys (Pitches 1 & 2), U11 Girls (Pitches 3 & 4) - 9.30 Start
U14 Boys (Pitches 1 & 2), U13 Girls (Pitches 3 & 4) - 12.30 Start
U16 Boys (Pitches 1 & 2), U15 Girls (Pitches 3 & 4) - 15.30 Start
Senior Competition (Sunday 12th September)
Senior Men (Pitches 1 & 2), Senior Ladies (Pitches 3 & 4) - 11am Start
As this is a brand new competition, playing a new format of lacrosse, some of the times above may vary and, if there is sufficient demand, Stockport may be in a position to host a U19 men’s and U18 women’s competition on the Sunday.
