Ladies Teams
2023-24 Intro:
Captain: Katie Headley
Division: London Premier
The Ladies 1s have been competing in London Prem for the past two seasons. We fought hard each week to keep our spot in the league and even when tough results don’t go our way, we always keep our spirits high.
We can’t wait to get back on the pitch and start it all over again!
If you’re keen to join a friendly, welcoming bunch that love a social and never say no to a post-match pint, get in touch!

2023-24 Intro:
Captain: Beth Rosier
Division: London Division 2 South
Ladies 2s, or better known as the 2022-23 season big gun point champions, have as much fun on the pitch as they do off celebrating at the club house post game. Aside from the social aspect, we are a dedicated team who train hard and give our all at each game. If you are interested in joining, please don’t hesitate to get in touch! We hope to welcome lots of new members for the up coming season.

2023-24 Intro:
Captain: Florence Childs
Division: London Division 3 South
Arguably the best team at Wanderers, the Ladies 4s have gone from strength to strength in the past few seasons, finishing a respectable fifth in Division 3 South at the end of the 22/23 season. Captain Flo runs a tight ship, so they work hard and play harder, but always find time for a post match pint. Ladies 4s are a welcoming bunch, and pride themselves on being a close-knit team on and off the pitch. Get in touch if you’re ready to jump aboard!

Men’s Teams
2024-25 Intro:
The M6 are in our fourth season in Division 5 (East) of the London Hockey League. We won the league in 2023 and are set for another successful year of silverware, at least if you were to believe the brazen claims being made by players at summer hockey.
Division 5 can be a tough place to be, and it takes a lot from our players, from rigorous training and nutritional programmes, from weekly whiteboard strategy sessions to gruelling matchdays. Luckily, we have a great squad again for 2024-25, with a few new star signings successfully negotiated over the summer to add to our carefully collated mix of experience and raw talent.
Our pre-season this year includes a tour to Cambridge at the end of August, playing two tough games against local clubs, before easing into the season with a much easier intraclub game against our M5s to build our confidence back up ahead of the 2024-25 league season kicking off late September.
If you’re a one-time county hockey Under-11 player and fancy yourself as a superstar who deserves to play far, far higher than Division 5, please get in touch. We’d be delighted to have you join us in underwhelming ourselves and any rare spectators every Saturday.
A quick insight from the backroom staff:
Strategies for the year?
- We are developing an AI chat-bot to provide motivating cliches and thought-provoking half-time points to cover for Richard if he moves out of London.
- We are looking to train players to throw more aerials, more accurately, helping to counteract the instinctive aim towards opposition players.
- We have been running short-corner simulations, in our search for a second short-corner goal this season.
- Finally, we want to put the draw back on the shelf, having deployed it slightly too often and becoming predictable towards the end of last season.
- Strong performance at home vs Royals, 2024

Mixed Teams
Mixed Hockey Secretary: Harry Wilson
Pinned highlight: Autumn/Winter Mixed Hockey
Across the normal hockey season (October-March), we play mixed hockey every other Sunday afternoon at Battersea Park. Wanderers field 3 teams (Optimists, Sinners, Daqs) in the friendly mixed hockey league based there, which Harry also organises.
It’s a great way to stretch your legs , hang out with the friendliest players in the club and enjoy some fun and usually close games.
If you’re new to Wanderers, please get in touch via the normal form if you’d like to join, and you’ll be added to one of the 3 teams. If you’re a Wanderer already, speak to Harry or your Saturday captain if you’d like to be added to one of the teams.
Sunday Team Captains:
Optimists: Blake Edmunds
Sinners: Tessa Hillen
Daqs: Taylor Collier-Brown
Each summer (Apr/May until end of July), we play mixed social hockey across two great weekly sessions:
-
- Wednesday evenings (8pm – 9pm, at Battersea Park) from start of May until end of July. Bring a white shirt and a dark shirt and we’ll split into 2 or 4 teams and play a game.
- Sunday afternoons at Kennington Park, where we’ll play with a mix of clubs (Wanderers, Barnes, Clapham etc). Exact teams and dates/times confirmed nearer the time.
Please get in touch (via the normal form) if you’d like to come along – there’s usually plenty of spaces for people looking to get involved! And it’s a good way to meet the club and our players.

After a 5 year hiatus, Wanderers HC once again fielded a team in the knockout England Hockey Mixed Championship, the national cup for mixed hockey.
We had a great two games against impressive oppositions, and have taken away a renewed confidence for our 2024-25 cup run.
We’ll go again next year from November time! Team will again be made up of Wanderers mixed players.
Training
The men’s teams train across Monday and Tuesday evenings at Battersea Park. Each team usually trains for an hour on the astro (sometime between 7pm and 10pm); some of the higher teams also do fitness training.
The ladies teams now all train on Wednesday evenings, at Battersea Park or Kennington Park, depending upon teams. Again, each team trains for an hour on the astro (sometime between 7pm and 10pm); and again, some of the teams also do fitness training in the week or before training.
Training is good fun and a chance to practice and hang out with your mates during the dark winter evenings!
Our mixed teams do not train, but include a lot of our Saturday players, who will often train during the week.
