Seamus 'Shay' O'Connell continues this season as our Women's 1st XI Coach after a first hugely successful season with us in 2017/18 when the Women's 1st XI won the South Div 3b League and earned promotion.
Coach and team followed that up by winning the South Div 2 league in 2018/19 and earning promotion to South Div 1 for 2019/20!
The team consolidated their Div 1 position in 2019/20 with a 5th place finish in a season where they earned triple promotion from the South Indoor Qualifiers to the England Hockey Divison 1 Indoor Super Sixes!
The covid-affected season of 2020/21 meant that the season was declared null and void.
In the newly restructured leagues of South East, the team were undefeated in the 2021/22 season with 20 wins and 2 draws, scoring 132 goals and only conceding 17. The first place finish earned the team promotion to the National League.
