England Lacrosse is delighted to announce the Women’s National squad that will take to the field at the Women’s World Championship in Towson (Md.), USA this summer.

Following the recent Home Internationals series win, Head Coach Phil Collier has now named his final 18-player squad that will compete for the crown from 29 June - 9 July.

Nine of the 18-player squad have previously represented England at a World Championship, including Laura Merrifield who will compete at an incredible fourth senior World Championships.

Meanwhile, Georgie Southorn, Olivia Thomas and Charlie Wilson all make the step up to the senior championship after representing England at the 2019 U19 Worlds.

After a memorable bronze medal in 2017, Collier and his coaching staff will have eyes on putting together a side capable of repeating success at the 2021 Championship, this time looking to go even further.

And England will open up their Women’s World Championship campaign against Australia on 30 June in a rematch of that 2017 bronze medal game.

Following our opening game against Australia, England will play Scotland (2 July), Canada (3 July), and finally USA in an eye-catching fixture on America’s Independence Day (4 July) to round off the pool stages.
