Neston South Wirral Hockey Club
The club has:
6 Mens Teams
3 Ladies Teams
1 Badgers U15 Team
1 Beavers U13 Team
We are based in the south of the Wirral, in Neston, ialthough our Clubhouse is on the banks of the River Dee in Parkgate.
In Parkgate they used to fish for shrimps and prawns and this is where we get our emblem from and the colour of our tops. They are pink, or some may say coral, like the shrimps!
Neston Cricket Club is our HQ and a lot of the players also play cricket, tennis or squash at the cricket club. It was the base for our grass pitches in the past.
Hockey at Neston has a rich past, in 1983 we won The HA Cup, the National Knockout Cup, beating Slough 3-2 in St Albans, we were also the Runners up in 1979, again against Slough. We have played National League Hockey as recently as 1995 and are currently in the 1st Division of the North West League, looking for promotion.
In 2005/06, Neston Men won the Cheshire Plate, against Bramhall and we are keen to move up to a higher level. We are in the final again this year 2007.
We have a strong Junior Section with a number of strong players, gaining experience in the higher teams and representing county and North West.
The U13's were 3rd in the Cheshire 7 a side Tournament in 2006.
