Blues and Hampstead to face teams from across Europe in Ken Galluccio Cup

Hampstead player battles against an Oslo player at the Ken Galluccio Cup

Reigning Ken Galluccio Cup champions Blues (women) will take on Bern Titans of Switzerland and Germany’s Hamburg Lacrosse in Group C of the competition after a live group stage draw last week.

In the men’s tournament, English representatives, Hampstead, will battle it out against Swtizerland’s Olsen Saints, Delft Barons of the Netherlands, and Italy’s Bologna Sharks in the men’s event.

Blues will be looking to lift the Cup for the second year in a row after a successful tournament last year that saw them defeat close rivals Edinburgh University 19-4 in the final to lift the trophy.

In the men’s competition, Hampstead will be hoping they can win the Ken Galluccio Cup for a second time after they claimed their first title in 2019, defeating Oslo 8-2 in the final.

The Ken Galluccio Cup is contested by the champions from several of Europe’s lacrosse leagues and has been running roughly on an annual basis since 2008.

Originally named the Champions Cup, the tournament was renamed the Ken Galluccio Cup as a tribute to its creator after his death in 2009 and it is the largest European lacrosse tournament with teams from over 15 countries taking part.

This year’s competition will take place in Barcelona, Spain for the second time from 8-10 September and you can follow updates of the tournament HERE.
