2025 champions of England Spencer Men and Centaurs Women will be flying the flag on the continent this weekend as both teams go in search of glory at the European Club Championships.
Starting tomorrow (Friday 12 September), the European Club Championship, now known as the Ken Galluccio Cup in tribute to its creator, pits Europe’s best against each other featuring the league champions from all across Europe.
Spencer Men, who defeated Poynton in the National Club final, return to the competition for the first time since their successful 2022 appearance where they were crowned European champions for the second time, and will be looking to make it a third win this time in Czechia.
Meanwhile Centaurs Women, who overcame Oxton in the National Club final, are also looking to repeat previous success after winning a first European title back in 2019 in Ghent.
Following three years in Barcelona, the tournament has moved to Czechia at the famous LCC Radotin club just outside Prague.
Spencer have been drawn in Group A alongside Oslo (Norway), Bologna (Italy), Delft (Netherlands), and Wroclaw (Poland).
The Women’s competition was also originally drawn into two groups of five, but following the withdrawal of Dublin Lacrosse (IRL), a single nine-team table will be used with each team playing a selected four teams with all teams then being ranked following their matches to determine the knockout fixtures.
Centaurs will play their four fixtures against Edinburgh University (SCO), SW-Köln (GER), Bern (SUI), and the hosts LCC Radotin (CZE).
Friday and Saturday will consist of group matches, before the knockouts and final ranking matches on Sunday concluding with the Championship games at 14:00 (Women) and 14:30 (Men). All times listed below are UK timings.
