University of Leeds Men’s Lacrosse Club nominated for national honor – English Lacrosse

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

The Dan Porter Award honors an individual or group who has faced and overcome adversity or disadvantage to have a positive impact on others within college sports and physical activity. That person or group will also have demonstrated a remarkable sense of character to achieve, motivate or inspire.

It has been a hugely successful season for the University of Leeds Men’s Lacrosse Club after their first team won the BUCS Men’s Northern Tier 1 – 1A and a first ever National Trophy, going undefeated all season.

And the nomination for the Dan Porter Award is testament to everything they have done as a club over the past year, including raising money for various charities, continuing to run two men’s teams and generally being a positive force within the West. Yorkshire area.

Lewis Evans from the University of Nottingham and Kagna Lozniceriu from the University of Derby have also been shortlisted for the Dan Porter Award, alongside Leeds.

Leeds will find out whether they have won the award at the BUCS Conference 2024 taking place at Warwick University from Tuesday 16 to Friday 19 July.
