The University of Leeds Men’s Lacrosse Club has been nominated for a national honor — England Lacrosse

The University of Leeds Men’s Lacrosse Club has been nominated for the Dan Porter Award at this year’s British Universities & Colleges Sport (BUCS) Awards 2023/24.

The Dan Porter Award celebrates an individual or group who has faced and overcome adversity or disadvantage to positively impact others in college sports and physical activity. That individual or group will also have demonstrated an outstanding sense of character to achieve, motivate or inspire.

It has been a very successful season for Leeds University Men’s Lacrosse Club after their first team won the BUCS Men’s Northern Tier 1 – 1A and first national trophy, going unbeaten throughout the season.

And being nominated for the Dan Porter Award is a testament to everything they’ve done as a club over the past year, including raising money for several good causes, continuing to lead two men’s teams and generally being a force for good in the West . Yorkshire area.

Lewis Evans from the University of Nottingham and Kagna Lozniceriu from the University of Derby are also nominated for the Dan Porter Award alongside Leeds.

Leeds will find out if they have won the award during the BUCS Conference 2024 which takes place at the University of Warwick from Tuesday 16 to Friday 19 July.
