Poynton Lacrosse Under 19's ...

The phrase 'the fastest game on two feet' is often associated with lacrosse and nowhere is that more apt than at Under 19's level. Played on Astroturf pitches at Timperley Sports Club, the Under 19’s Autumn League is one of the most competitive in the whole of the sport.

In recent years Poynton has produced some of the most successful teams in this age group. In the 2007-08 season Poynton’s Under 19’s were the first team to complete the treble winning the Ted Donnett Trophy, the Autumn League and the Under 19’s Cup. It took another 6 years before Poynton again won the treble with the class of 2013-14. A strong perormance the following year saw our U19's win the Ted Donnett and the Cup, narrowly missing the league title and finishing second.

The last couple of years have seen a very young U19 squad finding their feet whilst retaining a mid table position. In 2018-2019 the league rules changed to allow players to join U19 squads as soon as they turn 15 which will ensure that more of our junior Blackbirds get a chance to play at this level. In a further change the U19 season now includes additional tournaments and fixtures to give players more playing opportunity.
