BUCS season starts on Wednesday with 19 fixtures across the UK

The British Universities & Colleges Sport (BUCS) lacrosse season starts this week with 19 fixtures taking place at universities all over the UK.

There are local derbies between Nottingham Trent 1 and Nottingham 1 across the men’s and women’s teams in the Midlands with all teams looking to get an early upper-hand in the title races.

Newcastle men’s 1 begin life as a Men’s Premier side at home to Loughborough 1 as they look to start the season with a win and follow up on an impressive pre-season that included a first Border 8s title.

In the Scottish leagues, Edinburgh women’s 3 and 4 take on Aberdeen women’s 1 and St Andrews women’s 1 respectively while there’s a huge match-up in the Men’s Scottish Tier 1 - 1A as St Andrews 1 play Edinburgh 1.
