Cirencester and Mellor claimed victory in the respective women’s and men’s Bath 8s tournaments on Saturday at Bath Lacrosse Club.

Cirencester continued the incredible feat of no team winning the women’s title more than once since the competition was founded in 2017 as they defeated reigning champions, Wilmslow, 5-4 in sudden death overtime after the game had originally finished 4-4.

Earlier in the day, Cirencester had overcome a tough Guildford Gators side 5-4 in their semi-final match after finishing as the second seed following the group stage matches.

Wilmslow reached their second consecutive final by defeating the top seed after the group stages, St Mary’s, Calne, 2-1 in their semi-final.

In the men’s tournament, Mellor snatched their third Bath 8s title as they also overcame opposition from Wilmslow, eventually coming out 3-2 winners.

They eased past 2022 champions, Cheadle, 7-1 in their semi-final match before Wilmslow booked their spot in the final after a 3-1 win over Loughborough University Alumni.

A total of 50 teams took part in the 2023 Bath 8s across the men’s and women’s tournaments making it one of the biggest ever competitions to date.
