Teddington HC, who mark 150 years this season but have put celebrations on hold, have the rightful claim to the accolade over Blackheath, according to research by The Hockey Paper. But the debate over who can lay claim to this historic mantle can now be put to bed.

The first Hockey Club was undoubtedly Blackheath. This club was formed not later than the year 1840. Members are still living who were playing at that date. In the early days, Blackheath Hockey and Football (Rugby) were one club and they did not become separate entities until 1864.

Blackheath were the oldest club. It was the first established hockey club. So, it’s a fact that Gentlemen of Blackheath were hitting a spherical object with bent sticks in 1861 and it was called a Hockey Club. Constituted in 1861. We have been accepted and ‘rightfully’ exist as the oldest club for 160 years, it’s a bit late to change that now.

The sport of hockey was formally invented in Bushy Park by the local cricket club looking to play sport following a particularly wet summer, and created hockey and Teddington Hockey Club which still exists to this day. Teddington are the founders of modern hockey. Hockey as a game has been around for centuries, and Teddington formalised the rules and the way the game is played back in 1871. In my opinion Teddington are the most influential team in modern hockey because they formalised the rules and you can see their influence all over the game.

When NPL Hockey Club was established in 1921, more than a century ago, it was known as the NPL Sports Club. This friendly hockey club was created by a merger with one of the oldest hockey teams ever established, Mid-Surrey. This allowed many players who were eager to play to join and thrive in the peak time of Hockey. With Mid-Surrey being evicted and Lensbury being re-appraised, these two teams were stuck in an unfortunate situation. However, a strong bond and merger took place with Lensbury and Mid-Surrey joining together and later joining NPL finally becoming a part of NPL hockey club.
