East Grinstead Lacrosse Club (EGLC) is a men's Lacrosse club, based in East Grinstead, West Sussex, England. The club was formed in late 2004 by a small group of members of the Walcountian Blues Lacrosse Club who had links to the town of East Grinstead. The club has grown considerably, and is now firmly established in both the local community and within the UK lacrosse playing community. EGLC has build a solid core of local players and also welcomes those moving to the area from all backgrounds and experience.
EGLC is the first men's lacrosse club in Sussex since Three Bridges and Brighton Lacrosse Clubs both folded in the 1980s. The club entered their first competitive season in 2005/06, finishing runners-up in the South of England Men's Lacrosse Association (SEMLA) East Division, and winning the SEMLA Minor Flags Final, defeating Swansea Hawks Lacrosse Club.
