12 March 2026 - Sport
Wycombe Abbey athletes delivered four exceptional days of Lacrosse at the National Schools Championships, showcasing determination, resilience and outstanding skill across all senior and junior teams.
1st Team – Division 1 Finalists
Following a hard-fought Day One, the 1st Team regrouped brilliantly on Sunday. They topped their Division 1 group and progressed to the knockout stages after a dramatic L16 win against St Paul’s, secured in overtime. Their momentum continued with victories over NLCS and HABs, before narrowly missing out on the Championship title in a tense final against Birkenhead.
2nd Team – Division 2 Champions
The 2nd Team also shone in their Division 2 group, putting in a series of strong performances to reach the latter stages of the competition. After impressive Quarter-Final and Semi-Final wins over STAHS and NLCS, they produced a remarkable comeback in the final, fighting back from 2–0 down to secure a 3–2 victory over Caterham and claim the Division 2 title.
3rd Team – Top Four Finish
The 3rd Team also delivered an impressive run, finishing 2nd in their group and progressing to the Championship Last 16. After a well-earned 3–1 victory over LEH, they went on to defeat St Paul’s 4–0 in the Quarter-Finals with a commanding display of lacrosse. In the Semi-Finals, they battled against Guildford, creating plenty of attacking opportunities but ultimately losing 3–1. Their performance earned them an outstanding top four national finish.
U15A – Top Eight in the Country
The U15As topped their group after a morning of competitive matches, earning a place in the Championship Last 16. They defeated NLCS 5–3 to reach the Quarter-Finals, where they faced Berkhamsted. Despite dominating possession and creating numerous attacking opportunities, they fell short with a 4–1 final score, securing a well-deserved place in the top eight nationwide.
U13 – Division 1 Silver Medallists
The U13s began the day with a challenging set of fixtures, narrowly missing out on qualification for the Championship Last 16 and instead progressing into Division 1. Their performance grew stronger throughout the day, culminating in a place in the Division 1 final against NLCS. In a tense match that remained level until the closing moments, the result was decided by a final goal in the last 30 seconds, earning the team a well-deserved silver medal.
U14 – Strong Championship Run
The U14s performed exceptionally well in the group stages, winning all but one of their matches and finishing 2nd in what proved to be a highly competitive pool. This secured their place in the Championship L16, where they faced a strong SHSK side. Despite a committed and skilful display, the team narrowly missed out on advancing to the Quarter-Finals.
