Teams
The Men's 1st XI play in the Men's England Hockey League, and the Ladies 1st Team play in the Women's England Hockey League.[1][2] The club is one of the largest in the UK, with ten men's sides, five ladies' sides, and various other sides.[3]
History
For three consecutive years from 2017 to 2019, the women's team finished runner up for the league title. On each occasion they were beaten by Surbiton.[4]
In 2023, the men's first XI reached the play off final, finishing second in the English league, which was their best result in their history to date and therefore qualifying for the 2023–24 Men's Euro Hockey League.[5]
