Mersey Lions are a team of competitive young lacrosse players drawn from clubs across Manchester and Sheffield. In 2024 they hope to travel to the US and Canada to compete internationally against established lacrosse teams and clubs. The players are highly motivated, have a fantastic training ethos and have started training together with a single focus to be the best they can, to inspire others and to play lacrosse competitively with great skill and sportmanship.

To get there the team are all determined to raise the funds themselves through events, team building exercises and through hard work.
