Berkhamsted host Moreton Hall in a very special double header event at Saracens Rugby Club’s StoneX Stadium today, alongside a Berkhamsted v Denstone College rugby fixture.
Starting at 5pm, the lacrosse fixture between Berkhamsted and Moreton Hall will see two under-18 sides at the top of their game after superb 2022/2023 seasons go head to head.
Both teams have started the 2023/2024 season brightly, with Berkahmsted winning two of their opening three matches and Moreton Hall taking home the annual Welsh Rally title.
This will be the first time the two sides have met in-season outside of the National Schools Lacrosse Championships.
At that competition, Berkhamsted have won five under-18 titles (1994, 1998, 2000, 2016, 2019) while Moreton Hall have failed to win one.
The sides have met four times at the National Schools Lacrosse Championships since 2015 with Berkhamsted winning three and one draw.
However, in 2019, Moreton Hall claimed the under-14 National Schools Lacrosse Championships title with many of that winning side now making up the under-18 team.
The StoneX Stadium, current home ground of Saracens Rugby Club, has a capacity of 10,500 and has previously been home to London Crusaders (now London Broncos) rugby league club as well as non-league football club, Kentish Town.
The rugby fixture between Berkhamsted and Denstone College will start at 6:15pm and both matches are available to watch live on NextGenXV HERE and on the NextGenXV YouTube Channel HERE.
