Cheadle and Wilmslow Lacrosse Clubs ensured the respective women’s and men’s trophies made the long journey back to Cheshire after claiming victory at the 2022 Bath Eights competition.
Wilmslow swept aside Oxford City 5-1 in the women’s final, adding a fifth new name onto the Bath Eights trophy in the five years since the women’s tournament began in 2017.
In the men’s final, Cheadle were too strong for close rivals Wilmslow as they overcame their opponents 7-1 to add a record sixth Bath Eights title to their name and five in the past 10 years (1992, 2012, 2014, 2016, 2018, 2022)!
The annual competition, which is hosted by Bath Lacrosse Club at their Odd Down Sports Ground home, welcomed a massive 53 teams across the two formats on Saturday 3 September in the traditional season opener.
After taking a break in 2020 due to the coronavirus pandemic, the Bath Eights competition was back with a bang last year with Timperley and Godolphin taking home the titles in the men’s and women’s tournaments respectively.
With 13 teams taking part, the 2021 competition was the biggest women’s tournament ever but this was beaten over the weekend as 21 teams took part in the women’s format!
The Bath Eights tournament will return in 2023 with more details about how to sign up being released in due course over on Bath Lacrosse Club’s website HERE.
