England Lacrosse is delighted to announce Meredith Ingham Clark has been appointed as the England Women’s Box Team Manager.
She’ll be working with newly appointed Head Coach Conor Dockery and the pool of talented English players as they prepare to compete at next year’s first ever women’s box Euros.
A relative late-comer to the sport after first picking up a stick in 2020 at the age of 30, Ingham Clark joins the England team having packed a lot in to her five years in lacrosse.
She’s a founding member of the Camden Capybaras women’s team and has served on their executive committee since 2021 where she is the current Vice Chair.
It was Ingham Clark’s husband and England men’s box team Assistant Coach, Rob Ingham Clark, who first gave her the box lacrosse bug which eventually led her to be part of the original steering group to develop a domestic box offering for women in the UK, alongside fellow pioneers Lizzie Bottrill, Jane Lee, Evie Stephens, and Issy Keane.
Since then, Ingham Clark has gained a lot of box experience, having represented teams at the annual ShE-Box event, the USBOXLA Nationals, the Tasko Cup, and the Southern Box Lacrosse (SBL) Winter Box League.
Having been a part of the very first women’s England box training squad in 2023/24, Ingham Clark currently serves as the South East Women’s Lacrosse Association (SEWLA) and the South England Men’s Lacrosse Association (SEMLA) Women’s Box Development Rep.
Ingham Clark’s has previous experience managing team’s as Team Manager of Rise men at this year’s The Fly, EdinBru at ShE-Box 2025, and the women’s field tournament team Marmaladies who won the Blues Fest Plate in 2024.
Upon her appointment, Ingham Clark said:
"This is the beginning of an incredibly exciting chapter for the England women's box team as we build towards the first ever women's box Euros next year, and I'm so honoured and excited to be on that journey with the team as Team Manager.
“With Euros, along with key fixtures in the box calendar like ShE-Box and national training sessions, there’s a real sense of momentum. It's going to be a very busy 18 months for women's box — but that’s what makes it so exciting. I’m proud to be helping drive the programme forward."
