England National Schools Lacrosse Tournament 2025

On Saturday and Sunday, St Bart’s entered the U19A National Schools Lacrosse Tournament, with the girls showing skill, determination, and teamwork against some of the best school lacrosse teams in the country. The team had a strong day one, facing a mix of challenging opposition. With excellent play they finished the day with two wins, two losses and one draw. This performance secured a well-earned place in Division One for the second day of the competition.

Competing at the highest level, we faced tough matches against Fettes and Benenden, narrowly losing 1-0 and 3-2 respectively. Despite these results, the team showed resilience and tactical discipline, earning a spot in the last 16.

In the knockout round, we took an early lead against a very strong Putney side, demonstrating great teamwork and attacking play. However, in a tense and hard-fought contest, Putney managed to turn the game around in the final minutes, with our team eventually falling to a 2-1 defeat.

Throughout the tournament, the team was led by excellent captaincy from India Duly and Sophie Livingstone, who both showed outstanding leadership, composure and determination on and off the field. Thank you to all those involved for two amazing days of Lacrosse.
