England Lacrosse representative teams finished first, second, and third at the 2025 United World Games in Klagenfurt, Austria yesterday after three days of Sixes Lacrosse competition.
England Lacrosse 1 took the title with a close 14-11 victory over England Lacrosse 2 in the final and England Lacrosse 3 claimed the bronze medal with a 19-8 win over USA All-Stars White earlier in the day.
Made up from talented young players in the England Lacrosse Aspire Programme, the final day wins meant that, aside from when playing against other England teams, the three England representative teams didn’t lose a match during the competition.
The team scored a whopping 325 goals in their 14 matches while conceding just 55 goals against non-England teams to take the top three spots in the inaugural lacrosse competition at The United World Games.
2025 marked the first time England teams had taken part in the multi-sport competition that also showcases tennis, basketball, volleyball, field hockey, rugby, floorball, football, ice hockey, handball, and ball hockey alongside lacrosse.
Holding its first edition 20 years ago in 2005, the United World Games is an annual event that aims to give young athletes the opportunity to play their sport against other nations with an added Olympic flair.
