British Lacrosse secured the men’s and women’s titles and remained unbeaten in their nine matches at the inaugural Hong Kong Super Sixes event earlier this week.
Both sides overcame tough opposition from Germany in their respective final matches with the men coming out 17-13 winners and the women enjoying a 17-6 victory.
With the eyes of world lacrosse on them, after last year’s announcement that Sixes Lacrosse will be included at the LA28 Olympic Games, both British lacrosse sides got off to a good start with the men defeating Philippines 23-6 as well as Hong Kong, China 28-9 and the women beating China 19-11 and Hong Kong, China 22-4 on the opening day.
With their results on day 1, British Lacrosse women earned themselves a rest day before a semi-final against Czechia on day 3 which was easily won 22-5.
Later that day, British lacrosse women secured the Hong Kong Super Sixes trophy with a 17-6 victory over Germany.
In the men’s competition, British Lacrosse followed up their successful day 1 with two more wins, a 20-9 victory over China and a 26-18 win against Fogo Japan.
British Lacrosse men then became Hong Kong Super Sixes champions with a 17-13 final win against Germany.
