September Sixes returns to Stockport for 5th year

The Stockport September Sixes returns this weekend for its fifth year as teams descend on the Greater Manchester Club for their annual six-a-side season opener.

65 teams will take part over the two-days of the competition with Saturday seeing senior men’s and senior women’s competitions taking place.

On Sunday, six junior competitions will take place from U12 boys to U18 girls highlighting the strength in depth of the junior programmes within the north of England and the appetite amongst that demographic for the Olympic sixes version of lacrosse that will be showcased during the LA28 Olympic Games.

Games will start from 11am on Saturday and 9am on Sunday at Stockport Lacrosse Club, Greater Manchester with spectators able to attend for free and the clubhouse bar open from 12pm each day.

There’ll be a barbecue from 12pm each day as well as a kitchen selling breakfast on Sunday.

The car park at Stockport Lacrosse Club will be closed during the weekend for all except blue badge holders, tournament officials, OAPs, and team buses but there is parking available at the Hulme Hall School opposite the club.

Lacrosse retailers Northern Soul will have a pop-up shop on site on both days.

The Stockport September Sixes launched in 2021 and the event has grown year on year with the 2025 edition set to be the biggest and best yet with teams from all over the country represented.

Stockport Men & Oxton Women Win Inaugural Stockport September Sixes

Stockport and Oxton won the respective inaugural senior men’s and women’s September Sixes competition in Stockport over the weekend.

The brand new tournament, hosted by Stockport Lacrosse Club, welcomed over 40 teams across seven ages groups to their two-day festival of lacrosse.

An impressive 26 teams took part on Saturday, the first day of the competition, with Mellor, Norbury, Cheadle, Mersey, and Stockport taking home the trophies in the U12 boys’, U13 girls’, U14 boys’, U15 girls’, and U16 boys’ tournaments respectively.

And in the headline events on Sunday Timperley won the U18 women’s category while Stockport and Oxton came out on top of the senior men’s and women’s competitions.

It was a steep learning curve for everyone involved as they came to terms with the new proposed Olympic 6-a-side version of the game, but that simply added to the excitement with a golden goal victory in the U16 boys’ tournament!

Stockport hope to make the September Sixes an annual event and if this inaugural edition is anything to go by, then we look forward to what’s in store over the coming years!

On their club website, Stockport took the opportunity to thank “all the parents for stepping up, the coaches for the work they do with the children, [groundsmen] Barry and John for creating four lovely pitches, and the referees, Dean, Lara, and Pete, and James Bramwell who stepped in at the last minute to help.”

Stockport Lacrosse Club Set to Host First September Sixes this Weekend

Stockport Lacrosse Club are hosting their first ever September Sixes tournament this weekend, with over 40 teams set to take part.

The new competition, which Stockport hopes will become an annual curtain-raiser for the regular lacrosse season, will be one of the first opportunities for both junior and senior teams to play the proposed Olympic 6-a-side version of the game.

The September Sixes will contain seven knockout competitions featuring different ages groups, including U12 boys, U16 boys, U13 girls, U15 girls, U18 women, senior men, and senior women.

Each competition will start with an initial round robin-style first round, after which the teams will be split based on their performance and semi-finals and a final will be played with an exclusive September Sixes trophy in each age category up for grabs!

Stockport’s Craig Davy thinks it’s a great opportunity for clubs to get involved in the new format of lacrosse.

“After 18 months without much competition, we’re really excited and feeling extremely positive to be hosting the September Sixes competition.

“We’re so keen at Stockport to bring more juniors into the game and exposing our existing juniors to this brand new, quick, and tough format will undoubtedly have a lasting impact and benefit on them, the club, and the game as a whole.”

There will be some slight changes to the official rules during the junior competitions with shot clocks being absent from their matches.

Although not a bona fide fundraiser for the club, Stockport are welcoming spectators to head to their ground to watch the September Sixes with the clubhouse (including bar and refreshments) open from 1pm.

If your team wants to sign up, please send an email to [email protected] and you’ve got until 7pm today (9 September)!
