Who We Are
Cardiff University Men’s Hockey Club is a high-performance programme with a tight-knit culture and a winning habit. We run four integrated squads plus a dedicated social side, providing a pathway from developing players to international standard. We train and compete twice weekly across British Universities and Colleges Sport (BUCS) and top weekend leagues.
Track Record of Success
In 2019/20, our 2nd XI completed the historic treble, winning the Saturday League, the BUCS League, and the BUCS Cup. In 2021/22, the 2nd XI reached the Big BUCS Final after a stellar campaign, while the 1st XI defeated Swansea University to win Welsh Varsity and help secure the Varsity Shield. The 2023/24 season saw the 1st XI crowned BUCS South Premier champions, narrowly missing promotion in the play-offs; they also beat Swansea 4–1 in Varsity for a third straight win since Covid, and the 2nd XI lifted the Welsh Cup after dispatching Whitchurch Hockey Club. In 2024/25, the 1st XI won Varsity again, extending our unbeaten post-Covid Varsity run to four, and the 4th XI achieved a double promotion across both BUCS and the Saturday league.
Social DNA
We compete to win - and we celebrate as a club. Post-match socials run every Wednesday with our trademark “ones” dress code: smart-casual paired with the Cardiff hockey tie. Expect Halloween and Christmas specials, a black-tie ball, and a summer tour. Our socials run in partnership with Cardiff University Women’s Hockey Club, making us one of the biggest and most vibrant clubs on campus.
Everyone Welcome
We’re open, ambitious, and inclusive - whether you’re new to the sport or pushing for performance squads. Questions? Message the Club President, Jonny Wilkinson (WilkinsonJ8@cardiff.ac.uk), or the relevant team captain and we’ll get you started.
Giving Back
