Holcombe Hockey Club is a field hockey club based in Rochester, Kent, England. The home ground is located at Holcombe Park, where there is a water-based pitch, a sand-based pitch and a clubhouse. The club was formed in 1999/2000 from a merger of clubs in the area.
The Men's 1st XI play in the Men's England Hockey League, and the Ladies 1st Team play in the Women's England Hockey League.[1] [2] The club is one of the largest in the UK, with ten men's sides, five ladies' sides, and various other sides.[3]
For three consecutive years from 2017 to 2019, the women's team finished runner up for the league title. On each occasion they were beaten by Surbiton.[4]
In 2023, the men's first XI reached the play off final, finishing second in the English league, which was their best result in their history to date and therefore qualifying for the 2023–24 Men's Euro Hockey League.[5]
