The Hereford Hockey Club was established early in 1896 and was formed by members of the Rowing Club with the idea of keeping themselves in good form during the winter months. The first ever match was played on Thursday 6th February that year against Leominster Hockey Club (founded in 1894) and resulted in a 2-2 draw. Home matches were played at the Wyeside ground.
By 1906 the club was running two teams and are recorded as playing on the Barrack ground and then securing a site in Edgar Street. Twenty years later (1926) matches were being played on the Racecourse ground, the A.G.M. of that year being held at the City Arms Hotel in Broad Street. Games continued to be played at the Racecourse until the outbreak of World War II in 1939.
It was 1946 before any organised hockey returned, as before on the Racecourse but now as a Section of the newly formed Hereford City Sports Club. The next thirty years saw a friendly, though small, club providing an important hockey outlet in the City. During this time the Club started a six-a-side tournament that was to run for over 35 years. But 1977 was on the way and in the next quarter century everything about hockey at the club was to change out of all recognition!
