The University of Leeds Men’s Lacrosse Club has been nominated for the Dan Porter Award at this year’s 2023/24 British Universities & Colleges Sport (BUCS) awards.

The Dan Porter award celebrates an individual or group who have faced and overcome adversity or disadvantage to positively impact others within university sport and physical activity. That individual or group will also have demonstrated a remarkable sense of character to achieve, motivate, or inspire.

It’s been a hugely successful season for the University of Leeds Men’s Lacrosse Club after their first team won the BUCS Men’s Northern Tier 1 - 1A and a first ever National Trophy, remaining unbeaten throughout the season.

And the nominated for the Dan Porter Award is testament to everything they’ve been doing as a club over the last year, including raising money for several good causes, continuing to run two men’s teams, and generally being a force for good within the West Yorkshire area.

Lewis Evans from the University of Nottingham and Kagna Lozniceriu from the University of Derby are also nominated for the Dan Porter Award alongside Leeds.

Leeds will find out if they’ve won the award during the BUCS Conference 2024 which takes place at Warwick University from Tuesday 16 - Friday 19 July.
