The club was initially formed with a Men's 1st XI, which competed in the West of England & South Wales Hockey League (currently known as the Verde Recreo Hockey League for sponsorship reasons) from the 2009–10 season.
As of the 2018–19 season, the club includes a Men's 1st XI, 2nd (A) XI and 3rd (B) XI; and a Women's 1st XI and 2nd (II) XI
The club colours of black, white and gold are based upon the black-and-white flag of Saint Piran (the patron saint of Cornwall) and the black-and-gold coat of arms of the Duchy of Cornwall. The club crest comprises a modified flag of Saint Piran, overlain with a banner displaying the club name and the words "Est. 2009" referencing the date the club were formed.
The club home kit features predominantly black shirts with a white cross and gold trim, black shorts trimmed with white and gold, and black and white hooped socks. An alternative away kit with orange shirts trimmed with black, and orange socks is also in use.
