Morgan Academy FP won National League 3 in 1984 and 1989.[4] In between the two wins during May 1985, the Monifieth High School FP's Hockey Club was formed.[5]
In September 1995, Grove Academy FP men and Dundee High School FP men merged to become Grove DHS and won National League 3 that season (1995/1996).[6]
Monarchs won their first National Title in 2012: National League Division 4 indoor - with a record of played 10, won 8, one draw and one defeat. They finished the league 11 points clear of Glasgow Uni in 2nd place.
