National Schools partial reschedule; U19A going ahead as planned

England Lacrosse and venue grounds staff have been working hard over the last week on our National Schools Championship fields to mitigate the extremely wet weather we have been experiencing recently.

Having carried out a full pitch inspection this morning (27 February), and with the incoming weather for the weekend, some of the pitches on the event site have been deemed unplayable.

We can confirm that a FULL U19A competition will be going ahead as planned and as scheduled on the Macoocoo site. We want to alert you to the fact that the site is very wet and you will need to be prepared for this as more wet weather is due over the next 36 hours.

However, as a result of pitch situation and the current general condition of the site, the decision has been taken to postpone and reschedule the U19B and U19C competition.  

We know that this will be disappointing for the students but it is sensible for all concerned to have this decision made at an early stage.

We will be working on a rescheduling of the two competitions over the coming days and will communicate further details to you all once decisions have been made as to future arrangements.

If you have booked tickets in advance to spectate either of the postponed tournaments, we will provide further communication once a decision has been made on the future arrangements.
