11 English officials have been selected to referee matches at the upcoming 2025 European Men’s Lacrosse Championship in Wroclaw, Poland.
Philip Pearson will be a part of the top team of officials during the competition taking place from 10-19 July, acting as an assignor and educator throughout the tournament.
Graham Blyth, Mark Buckley, Dennis Cheng, Craig Davy, Tom Hamey, James Hawksworth, Andy Higginbottom, Emma Jones, Michael Leahy, Ben Lipinski, and Craig Stephens will also feature as match officials as part of a 42-strong group of referees from all over the world.
The 2025 European Men’s Lacrosse Championship will be the first full edition of this competition to take place since 2016 when England brought home the title for the ninth time in Budapest, Hungary.
The announcement of referees for the Euros comes just two weeks after it was revealed that four English officials will participate in The World Games in Chengdu, China, and the 2025 World Lacrosse U20 Men’s Championship in Jeju, Korea, in August.
