Ken Galluccio Cup 2013 - Ghent bid successful

The ELF recently invited for bids for the 2013 edition of the Ken Galluccio Cup, the European Club Championship for men's and women's Lacrosse. Out of five initial bidders, two parties submitted comprehensive, well prepared and very competitive bids - one from Manchester, UK and one from Ghent, Belgium.

The postal voting process has now been completed and the official result is as follows: In favour of Ghent voted a total of nine countries, a total of five countries voted for the Manchester bid. No vote was received from other countries, one vote was not counted as it missed the deadline and one country abstained.

The board would like to congratulate all bidders to their professional bids and thank all member countries for their votes. We are now looking to support the successful bid as much as possible and look to support a successful tournament in close cooperation with the team from Ghent.

The Ken Galluccio Cup 2013 will be held on September 7th and 8th 2013, in Ghent, Belgium. More details on this will be available on the ELF's homepage and online media within the next week.
