The schedule is now set for the 2022 National Club Championships as we are able to crown the champions of England for the first time since 2019.
The winners of the Men’s and Women’s National Finals will also be selected as the English representatives at the European Club Championships in Barcelona later this year.
The 2022 National Club Championships will be played at Moulton College, Northampton, with all welcome to attend for a bumper day of action now featuring four matches.
The day gets underway with the Women’s Division 1 final with South West Women’s champions Bristol Bombers meeting Blues 2s, winners of the SEWLA Division 1, that will be the first of two appearances for the South London-based club.
Blues Women 1s will compete in the Women’s National final for the first time after a 9-9 draw against 2019 National Champions Centaurs last week was enough to secure them the South East Premier League title and complete a double for both their women’s teams.
Meanwhile in the North Women’s league, Stockport ended Oxton’s run of league wins to book their place against Blues in the Women’s final.
In the men’s final, Spencer also ended Hampstead’s run of league titles to top the SEMLA table for the first time since 2016, which they also combined with a flags double, and are now looking to add the national title.
In the NEMLA Premier, it’s Cheadle who finished top of the tree and will look to pick up the national title which they last won back 2017, again facing-off against Spencer.
The National Club Championships will also feature a mixed lacrosse final at the event for the first time, Oxford City Lacrosse and Cambridge University meeting each other in the final as the respective winners of the South and Midlands leagues.
