The schedule for the annual Referee’s Trophy has been revealed by the North West Lacrosse Association (NWLA) with four games throughout the day.
Taking place on Sunday 6 October 2024 at Wilmslow Lacrosse Club, the day will feature three Lancashire v Cheshire matches in U15 boys, U17 boys, and senior women age groups before a battle for the senior men’s Referee’s Trophy between Stockport and Heaton Mersey.
The aim of the Trophy is to raise money to aid the development of referees in the north of England by charging an entry fee to spectators.
Adult tickets are £5 with concessions costing £2 and there is also the option to purchase a family ticket (two adults, two children) at £12.
Stockport are the reigning champions after a 16-10 victory over Cheadle in the 2023 competition; in that competition Lancashire beat Cheshire 12-11 in the U15 match while Cheshire defeated Lancashire 12-10 in the U17 game.
The scheduled women’s match was cancelled due to one of the teams being unable to field a team.
