Hornets will take on reigning champions Knights in the Southern Box Lacrosse (SBL) Winter Box League men’s final on Sunday after both teams won their final group stage game to finish first and second respectively in the table.

Hornets made it three wins in three at this year’s competition with an impressive 10-4 victory over strugglers Capitals who end week three rock bottom of the table.

Knights picked up a second victory in a row after a convincing 11-5 win over Steelheads who finish in third spot.

Over in the women’s competition, Ravens ensured there is still something to play for on finals day as they claimed their first victory of this year’s series with an 8-4 win over Blaze.

Ravens now have the chance to level up the series at 2-2 when the teams meet for a fourth and final time in Oxford on Sunday.
