ABOUT WEST HERTS H.C. WEST HERTS HOCKEY CLUB- DEVELOPING HOCKEY IN WATFORD... With both men's and ladies' 1st XIs playing in the top tier of the East Leagues and with six mens and four ladies teams in all, West Herts aims to provide hockey for all standards of player, man and woman, boy & girl-regardless of age. Add to this indoor success with the men achieving National League status in 2009, and we pretty much have it all covered... We have long standing strong ties to Watford Boys Grammar school, whose excellent astroturf pitch we share, and a thriving junior hockey coaching session on Sundays beginning with Under-11s; all our coaching is with fully CRB checked coaches. The men's teams, along with the ladies 1st XI, all play in the "NE14hockey" East league, with the rest of the ladies teams residing in the 5 Counties league. Our ambition, ultimately, is to acquire National League status for both men and ladies, but this may be some way off; in the meantime and regardless of the outcome of that mission, the emphasis is always on providing fun both on and off the field. The club is currently formulating its' application for "Clubs 1st" status, and as part of that we are putting together a strategy to take hockey into local junior and senior schools to broaden interest in the game in the Watford area. We play all year round too, with teams competing in the Southgate league in the summer months, plus a mixed seven-a-side tournament of our own, with several local clubs joining West Herts' own members at this novel and high scoring form of the game. We're not averse either to playing the game abroad (and maybe sampling a beer or two); in recent years we have sent teams to Dublin, Lier in Belgium, Kiel & Travemunde in Germany, Rotterdam and Eindhoven in the Netherlands, Barcelona, and Verona.

Mens Summer Hockey at Southgate

Mixed 7-a-side- maybe...

Corporate 5s

...AND A REST FOR ALL YOUR CLUB OFFICERS

The dust has settled on the 2008/9 season- one which saw success for the Men's 1st XI as Champions of East Premier B, and for the ladies 4th XI, who achieved promotion in the 5 Counties league.

Current on pitch action sees the men in action in the Southgate Summer League and for the second year we are running our "Corporate 5s", a fun tournament aimed at introducing the game to local businesses and maybe allowing a little networking in these credit-crunched times.

So if you fancy a game get in touch with us via the "CONTACT" button above on the menu bar, we look forward to hearing from you.

If you are new to the club, please note that our playing colours are: White shirts, navy blue shorts/ skirt, sky blue socks with white tops. Club kit is available via the "Kit & Clothing" link on the left of this page.
