The performance marked the first time Kawartha Lacrosse has fielded a team in the Sixes format.

Kawartha Lacrosse’s small roster included three underage players from the U9 division. The U11 team demonstrated exceptional skill, teamwork, and resilience throughout the tournament said coach Tara King.

“It has been rewarding to watch these young athletes grow as teammates and competitors throughout our inaugural sixes season,” she said. “The girls consistently demonstrated outstanding work ethic and a positive attitude — both of which were key to our success. Also, coaching alongside my former Kawartha Lacrosse teammates with our daughters on the field made this season especially meaningful.”
