Bath Lacrosse Club has opened the registration for the 2024 edition of their annual Bath Eights Festival, taking place on Saturday 7 September.
Held at Odd Down Sports Fields, the Bath Eights Festival is the traditional lacrosse season opener and dates back to 1986 when Low Profilers (Sheffield) won the men’s competition.
A women’s six-a-side version of the tournament is now into its seventh year having been won previously by Stockport, Bristol Bombers, Bath University, Godolphin School, Wilsmlow, and most recently Cirencester.
Mellor Lacrosse Club are the reigning men’s champions, winning their third title at last year’s competition, and 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.
This year’s Festival has 32 spaces for teams in its men’s competition and 24 in it women’s competition with clubs able to register teams to play across the men’s and women’s competitions from £145.
Squads are limited to 12 players and competitors in the men’s competition must be aged 16 and above with those in the women’s competition aged 14 and above on the day of the Festival.
Please note, every player must be registered with their national governing body.
