Women's Hockey Society

The first mention of the Women’s Hockey Society in the 70s was in the McGarel in 1974. The column reported the society’s win against Hatfield Poly. In January 1976, the society was competing in Seetech League Matches against the likes of City Polytechnic. The society often used to train at Quintin Hogg Memorial Ground in Chiswick. In December 1976, the society played against Ealing’s Women’s Club who were a tough competition at the time, however the Polytechnic won against them, making this their first victory against them. Often due to a lack of punctuality on the players behalfs, this resulted in the society losing points and being awarded with fines for cancelling matches due to lateness.

On Wednesday 16th February 1977, played a home match against South Bank Polytechnic in their first league match of the term. In March 1977, the society became runners-up in Division 2B of the Seetech League 7-a-side tournament against St Marys.

In March 1981, the society competed in a 7-a-side hockey competition, which they won the opening game, and then lost the next three consecutive matches.
