The organisers of the annual Nick Kehoe International have released the schedule for the 2022 edition of the tournament.
The competition, which has been cancelled in the past two years due to the coronavirus pandemic, will be held at Wilmslow Lacrosse Club, Cheshire, on Saturday 30 April and Sunday 1 May 2022.
Due to continuing concerns around COVID and international travel, the organisers have made the difficult decision to concentrate solely on the men’s competition this year.
Some 12 teams will be taking part across three divisions, including English Universities, a North-West regional team, Scottish Academy, and Wales U21 in the Conference A, Eire, England U21, a South regional team, and Welsh Dragons in the Conference B, and a Midlands regional team, Scotland, Wales, and a Yorkshire regional team in the Conference C.
The format follows that of previous years with each team playing every other team in their Conference league once as part of the preliminary round.
The top two teams in each Conference league will compete in the Championship Division while the third and fourth placed teams will compete in the Plate Division.
Results from the divisional games will determine the ‘Final Fours’ in the Championship, Plate, and Development tournaments with the winners of the Championship division winning the main Nick Kehoe International Trophy.
