Four English officials have been selected to officiate across two international competitions later this year, World Lacrosse has announced.
Top sixes officials Michael Leahy and Lara Owen will travel to Chengdu, China in August to officiate at the lacrosse competition at The World Games 2025 and experienced field officials James Hawsworth and Emma Jones will head to Jeju, Korea later in the month for the 2025 World Lacrosse Men’s U20 Championship.
Leahy, Owen, Hawksworth, and Jones represent four of the brightest sparks in English officiating and have a wealth of experience at all levels and formats of the game.
The World Games will see teams play the sixes Olympic version of lacrosse and marks one of the final world sixes events before lacrosse makes its return to the Olympic Games in LA in 2028.
The World Lacrosse Men’s U20 Championship showcases the best young talent in the world playing the traditional 10-a-side version of the sport.
England Lacrosse would like to congratulate all four officials and wish them luck as they prepare for and officiate at the competitions later this year.
