British Lacrosse claimed both 2024 Euro Lax Sixes Cups over the weekend after impressive wins over Hamburg Warriors and Germany in the respective men’s and women’s finals.

The British Lacrosse men’s team overcame a resolute Hamburg Warriors side 25-13, with Ben Page-Laycock hitting five on the way to victory, while the British Lacrosse women’s team defeated Germany convincingly 22-5, with Emma Savage and Liv Wimpenny both scoring five a-piece.

The results mean that both Euro Lax Sixes Cups have been held by a representative from Great Britain since its inception in 2022.

In this year’s edition, both British Lacrosse teams were unstoppable once again, remaining unbeaten across their 10 matches.

The men’s team beat Turkey and Luxembourg in their round robin matches by an aggregate score of 52-14 with Page-Laycock scoring an incredible 12 goals across the two games.

This was followed up by a 24-11 victory over Netherlands Orange in the quarter-final with Tom Roper taking his tally for the competition to 13 as he hit five goals.

A second win over Turkey came next in the semi-final, this time the score finishing 24-11, before a final match-up against Hamburg Warriors from Germany.

Once again, British Lacrosse proved too strong for their opposition and, with the help of five goals from Page-Laycock once again, they lifted the Euro Lax Sixes Cup for the third consecutive year after a 25-13 win.

Over in the women’s competition, British Lacrosse blew away Switzerland 27-0 in their first round robin game with six goals from Lottie Robertson and five from Wimpenny.

Their second round robin victory was just as dominating as they defeated Spain 25-4 to set up a quarter-final match with Global United.

Another clean sheet followed and a 24-0 win that saw Torz Anderson hit five and Claire Faram and Sophy Coombes-Roberts score four each.

The momentum was firmly with British Lacrosse at this point in the competition and a 25-6 victory against Ireland in the semi-final meant all that stood between them and Euro Lax Sixes Cup glory once again was Germany.

In the end, the final proved to be a formality and a huge 22-5 win meant the women’s trophy headed back to Great Britain for the second time.
