Men’s 1s currently play in North Premier Division following promotion last year from North Division 1. They have continued their success this year, sitting close to the top of the table throughout the season so far and maintaining the fast, attacking style of hockey they have become known for against tougher opponents. The team has been on a steep upward trajectory for a few consecutive seasons and the feeling around the players, coach and club is that this will only continue going forwards. The team has a competitive but welcoming atmosphere and has seen new players join in the past year from the surrounding area, which has bolstered the squad and created a healthy competition for places. There is a strong focus on junior development within the club which is recognised in the Men’s 1s selection process, giving opportunities to young players who will benefit from playing at the standard in North Prem.
Away days are occasionally supplemented by a team bus to allow all players to rehydrate sufficiently on the journey home. Off the field the team organise a few socials a year but almost always can be found in the clubhouse after a game nursing a jug of Amstel and playing darts and pool in the back room.
