History
Durham University Men's Lacrosse Club has existed for a number of years. The most recent incarnation of the club began in the early 2000s, with the club competing in the now defunct Anglo-Scottish League[1] This was followed by competing in the initial BUSA precursor league & Regional Tournaments, and then being an ever present in the BUCS leagues.
From 2009, the university side has been supported by a number of American students who are encouraged to come to the UK to continue playing their chosen sport whilst pursuing a 1-year Master's degree. These students are expected to represent the university throughout the season, whilst also taking on some responsibility for development of existing a new players.
The club welcomes both experienced and new players, and has alumni playing for a variety of UK clubs. The club has participated in a number of tournaments, including the Bath 8s in 2007, and tours to tournaments in Dublin & Salou.
In 2012, Durham University Men's Lacrosse Club was awarded English Lacrosse High Performance University status.[2][3]
In 2014, Durham was defeated by the England Men's National Team. In 2017, Durham defeated the England Men's National Team.[4]
The team competes in the Cathedral Cup against Pellicani Bocconi Lacrosse. They are set to play Reading University Men’s Lacrosse first team in what will be a challenging fixture for Durham.
The club successfully run a mixed tournament every year, playing without pitch boundaries. The club has also assisted in facilitating a large intra-mural mixed lacrosse league between the colleges of the university, providing further opportunities for new players to take up the game.
