England Lacrosse is pleased to announce the England Women’s squad selected for the first ever Home Nations 6s event.

An 18-player squad has been selected to compete in Edinburgh, Scotland against the host nation and Wales in an international competition on Saturday 28 August, played using the World Lacrosse Sixes rules for the first time.

The England squad features The Fly golden stick winner Torz Anderson, and goalie of the tournament, Katie Greenwood in addition to Emma Oakley, Ella Malik and Liv Wimpenny who all made the all-star squad at the new national sixes competition.

The Home Nations 6s features both a men’s and women’s competition across a single day packed full of action, with further informal scrimmages also taking place on the Sunday.

Due to the busy nature of the schedule, squads of up to 20 players have been allowed for the event, with 12-player squads allowed for each individual fixture; and the England squad features a combination of players from both the World Championship training squad and the Under 23 programme.

Currently, Lacrosse Scotland hope to be able to allow spectators to attend, dependent on local restrictions, and are asking spectators intending to attend to register HERE for free to secure entry.

World Lacrosse Sixes is a new, fast and exciting discipline that will be played at the 2022 World Games. Sixes uses a smaller field with fewer players, a condensed game length and a 30-second shot clock.
