National Club Championship Schedule
11:00 – Bristol Bombers x Harpenden
12:30 – Oxton x Centaurs
14:00 – Hampstead x South of England
Oxton and Centaurs will renew their long-standing rivalry in the National Club Championship match on Saturday 11 May in a bid to become champions of England.
Both teams remained unbeaten throughout their entire league campaign, Oxton finishing 16-0 with Centaurs just recording a single draw across an otherwise flawless season.
Centaurs have taken the title for the last two years against their Wirral opposition, both years subsequently finishing runners-up at the European Club Championships.
Oxton are looking for their first NCC win since 2016, when they also later went on to become European champions.
NEMLA have not been able to put forward a team to represent the region in the Men’s Championship match and as a result, Hampstead have been awarded the National Club Championship and will play as England’s representative at the European Club Championships in September.
Hampstead will instead play the South of England Representative side that recently finished 3rd at the Nick Kehoe International.
To support the continued progression of the South West winners, Bristol Bombers will play the winners of the SEWLA Division 1, Harpenden in the opening game of the day.
Bristol Bombers took the SWWLA League, winning five of the six monthly tournaments, while Harpenden won promotion to the SEWLA Premier with a 12-1-1 record.
The Home International Series returns to England for 2019 with this year’s competition taking place across 5-7 April at Aldershot Garrison Sports Complex.
The 2019 Home Internationals will feature the Women’s Senior A & B and Junior A & B tournaments, as well as a Men’s Senior tournament added to this year’s schedule, increasing the amount of action on offer.
Germany have also been invited to play as this year’s guest nation and have teams entered in the Women’s Senior and Junior A competitions.
England are the current holders of all Home Internationals championships after claiming a clean sweep at the 2018 series in Edinburgh and will be hoping to repeat the feat on home soil this time around.
Aldershot Garrison Sports Complex, the home of British Army sport, was the venue for the recent National Schools Lacrosse Championships and has also been used as a training base for our Women’s senior national team.
Entry: Adults £10 per day, Under 16s FREE

The first day will see the three teams’ squads split into two for a 6 v 6 tournament schedule. FIL has proposed a set of rules for a 6 a-side outdoor version of the sport which will be used on the first day of the Winter Classic and give the players a different challenge before moving to full 10 a-side matches on the Sunday.
