Sheffield Hockey Club is a field hockey club based in Sheffield, South Yorkshire, England. The club is also known as Sheffield Hallam as a result of the partnership with Sheffield Hallam University.[1][2]

About[edit]

The men's 1st XI play in the Men's England Hockey League.[3] The ladies' 1XI play in the North Hockey League. The club fields nine men's sides, five ladies' sides and junior sides based on a range of age groups.

The home ground at Abbeydale Park was established in 1919.[4] There is a water-based pitch and clubhouse adjacent to a rugby and cricket pitch. The water-based pitch's (previously green) turf has been replaced with the donated blue turf that was used for field hockey at the London 2012 Olympics Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park.
