The annual Nick Kehoe International tournament returns this weekend as nine teams in three divisions from around the British Isles battle it out to win the prestigious trophy.
With an odd number of teams this year, the format has changed from previous years with three conference divisions of three teams each for the Preliminary & Divisional rounds on Saturday resulting in two final fours, one for the Championship title and one for the Plate, on Sunday.
North West, Scotland Blue, and Wales Dragons make up Conference A, Eire, Scotland White, and South are in Conference B and Conference C contains English Unis, Midlands, and Yorkshire.
Wilmslow Lacrosse Club will once again host the tournament across their astro-turf and grass pitches and spectators are welcome.
The Nick Kehoe International has been running every year for 26 years aside from a two-year break due to the coronavirus pandemic.
The event is named after former President of Yorkshire, Sheffield Steelers player, and medic on several England tours, Nick Kehoe, who sadly passed away in the 1998.
In honour of Nick’s death, the lacrosse-playing regions moved the men's regional championships from single games based on full international rules to a weekend tournament; this was a change Nick was passionate about and as such the trophy was named after him.
