Heaton Mersey and Mellor Lacrosse Club’s under-14 boys teams took part in a special six-a-side exhibition match prior to the final day of The Fly Sixes Lacrosse League on Sunday.

The fixture was a repeat of the U14s Centurion Cup that was competed for at the 2025 Northern Flags Festival earlier this year.

The exhibition match was all part of The Fly’s community engagement during the 2025 competition that also included special free skills festivals for young people in and around The Fly’s 2025 venues in London and Manchester.

Heaton Mersey won an exciting match 16-13 and it is hoped that more events involving young players can be incorporated into The Fly over the coming years.

With lacrosse making its long-awaited return to the Olympic Games in Los Angeles in 2028, the match was the perfect opportunity for young players at both clubs to play the sixes rules, complete with shot-clocks and high-level officials.

And with lacrosse’s inclusion in the 2032 Olympics in Brisbane, Australia very much still on the cards, it is a possibility that some of the players who played in the exhibition match on Sunday morning could be in a Great Britain Olympic lacrosse team in seven years’ time.
