A big part of the vision for box lacrosse in the UK is to create more regular high level competition. Head Coach Walt Christianson is one for feedback when it comes to his players. Although there are many varied messages across the squad, one consistent piece of advice he gives is to “get more reps”. As such the North/South game exists to provide competition within a “real” box lacrosse setting.
The plan for North/South 2020 was to play a series of 3 games over a few months and eventually crown a champion. Unfortunately Covid had other ideas for our lacrosse season, and after game 1 we were forced to postpone.
England Box Lacrosse are excited to deliver the news that Game 2 and 3 are ready to come back into the lacrosse calendar! Based on local lockdown restrictions, at the point where Greater Manchester, High Peak and London are removed from Tier 3, England Box Lacrosse will schedule Game 2 within 1 month.
The game will be played in Disley, and is planned to stream live.
Below you can see the recording of Game 1, hosted in Lutterworth (near Leicester). Thank you to Andy Downing & Rob Gooch for making Game 1 a success & to the guys at SBL for supporting the South team.
