England’s men and women remained unbeaten as they took home the inaugural Home Nations 6s titles on a sunny August weekend in Edinburgh.
The competition is the first time that international teams from England, Scotland, and Wales have been able to battle it out in the new, and proposed Olympic, 6-a-side version of lacrosse and was organised in collaboration with World Lacrosse and World Lacrosse Sixes.
In a World Lacrosse statement released after the conclusion of the competition, World Lacrosse CEO, Jim Scherr, said:
“Lacrosse Sixes continues to gain momentum. World Lacrosse is appreciative of the efforts of Lacrosse Scotland for organising this event and thanks the participating National teams of Scotland, England, and Wales. The new discipline is proving to be as fast paced and exciting as we hoped.”
As with The Fly earlier in the month, the whole tournament was streamed live on Lax Sports Network and can be re-watched on demand.
