England Lacrosse relaunches partnership with FORZA

England Lacrosse is excited to relaunch our partnership with FORZA, a sub-brand of Net World Sports, ahead of the upcoming 2024/2025 domestic season.

Having signed a three-year contract extension with the sports equipment brand in February 2023 which saw FORZA become the England Lacrosse Official Match and Training Equipment Provider, we’re now relaunching the partnership to offer England Lacrosse members some exclusive offers, including a discount code to purchase lacrosse equipment ahead of the new season.

To take advantage of the exclusive England Lacrosse members’ discount, simply use the discount code found in this week’s England Lacrosse weekly newsletter, hitting your inbox this Friday (13 September).

In addition to the England Lacrosse members’ discount, FORZA will be offering our social media followers the opportunity to win prize bundles throughout the year through social media giveaways and competitions.

Since 2021, FORZA has provided equipment for various England Lacrosse events, including lacrosse goals, ball stops and coaches’ clipboards at The Fly.

Based in Wrexham, FORZA has been a champion of designing and manufacturing the best quality sporting products since 2009 and houses more than 15,000 products, 95% of which are own brand, in their new 411,000 square foot warehouse.

They provide equipment for some of the biggest sports brands in the world, including Manchester United, Manchester City, Durham Cricket, and Leigh Leopards.

They sell equipment across a huge range of sports from archery and cricket to Gaelic football and pickleball and they stock a huge variety of high-quality lacrosse training equipment for everyone’s needs, whether you’re an individual practising in your back garden or a club coaching the next generation of talent.

Lois Jones, Partnerships Executive at FORZA said:

“We’re thrilled to be continuing our partnership with England Lacrosse. By leveraging the expert knowledge of the team at England Lacrosse, we’re excited to further enhance our range of equipment and support the growth of the sport across the country.”

Caroline Royle, England Lacrosse Head of Marketing & Partnerships, said:

“Our partnership with FORZA has been growing over the past three years and we’re delighted to be able to continue working with our Official Match and Training Equipment Provider into the future. Offering benefits to our England Lacrosse membership is high on our agenda and, with discount codes and prize giveaways throughout the year, we believe our continued partnership with FORZA delivers on this.”

First Bath Eights Since 2019 Takes Place on Saturday

Saturday sees the welcome return of the Bath Eights competition after a break of two years due to the coronavirus pandemic.

The traditional lacrosse season opener will take place at Odd Down Sports Field, Bath, home of Bath Lacrosse Club on 4th September and will be the 4th and 35th editions of the women’s (six-a-side) and men’s competition respectively.

2019 winners of the men’s and women’s Bath Eights, Hillcroft Lacrosse Club and Bath University, will be competing again and looking to defend their titles.

Hillcroft will be joined by 31 other teams in the men’s tournament while Bath will compete against 15 other teams in a battle to be crowned Bath Eights 2021 champions.

Previous winners of the men’s competition include Sheffield (x6), Timperley (x4), and Cheadle (x5) with Stockport, Bristol Bombers, and Bath University being the three winners of the women’s edition.

All funds raised from the event go towards the club development fund at Bath Lacrosse Club, which continues to help grow the sport in the local area. 

Each year, the event goes from strength to strength and this year’s competition is sure to be a fantastic occasion after not being able to play much lacrosse for the past year!

In addition, England Lacrosse Official Partners, Net World Sports, will be visiting the Bath Eights this year after donating some of their specialised lacrosse equipment, including several pro-goals as well as a free coaching folder for every club.
