England Box Lacrosse Team Captain, Tom Roche, spoke to England Lacrosse ahead of his team’s trip to Hannover, Germany, for the 2022 European Box Lacrosse Championship.
Team England would like to show our appreciation to our supporters who travel to Germany for the European Box Championships by inviting them to a supporters event at the team hotel on Friday 5th August, 17:00-19:00.
This will be the evening before our final game, so let’s hope it’s a significant final game. For those not playing it will be an opportunity to enjoy a drink and chat with the squad and support staff, then look forward to the finals day!
Supporters are encouraged to bring England attire to stand out amongst the crowd. Bring an England flag. Even better, wear some supporters gear from our team shop, which also helps us financially with tournament costs.
If we progress into the later stages of the tournament as planned, our final two games should be Thursday 4th August at 16:30 and Saturday 6th August. If things don’t go quite as planned our Thursday game could be at 13:30 with our final game on Friday.
