Banstead
ladies 1st teams performed well last season and we are
looking forward to watching the squads develop further
next season. We hosted a number of events this summer
at the club, the highlight being the U16 and U18 6 Nations
international tournament in July. The new season is about to
start in September so all the hard work we have put in over
the summer will hopefully pay off.
“We are the heart of hockey in the Midlands and view
youth development as critical to the club. It is great to see
our young players develop over time and a number of them
achieve international honours. We have the best hockey
facility in Great Britain and we have plans to build two
further pitches and extend the clubhouse soon.
“The biggest challenge for us moving forward will be
the effect of club hockey when the new FIH Hockey Pro
League commences in 2019. Our ambitions are to grow our
membership numbers across the junior and adult sides,
to achieve national success with our men’s and ladies 1st
teams and to take part in the European club competitions.”
