2023 SBL Winter Box League squads announced

Knights squad with the 2022 Winter Box League trophy and their medals

The full squads for the 2023 Southern Box Lacrosse (SBL) Winter Box League have been released following the player draft last week.

The first set of players were revealed two weeks ago when SBL announced the protected players returning to each team after last year’s event.

England internationals Eliot Pugh, Eliot Leonard, Jamie Powell, and Will Allsop are among the players to have been picked ahead of this year’s competition.

The 2023 SBL Winter Box League will take place over four competition days at the Oxford Academy School and will feature four men’s teams and, for the first time, two women’s teams playing in a separate competition.

This follows the announcement of the first ever England women’s box lacrosse training squad earlier this month; those players will eventually be whittled down to a competition squad to play at the 2024 World Lacrosse Box Lacrosse Championships in Utica, USA.
