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
2023-24 Intro:
Division: London Division 5 East.
At many hockey clubs, the top men’s teams get named after either an intimidating animal or after some kind of plundering marauder. At Wanderers, we strive to be as inclusive and egalitarian as possible, so we’ve instead kept the humble moniker of the M6. This hopefully allows other up-and-coming players in the club to see a pathway up to the 6s, if they train well and develop the necessary on and off field skills.
A bit about us:
Proponents of fluid positional tactics and innovative nutritional plans, the M6 are in our third season in Division 5 (East) of the London Hockey League.
We began our 2021-22 season with a dynamic and clinical victory over our closest Wanderers rivals, the old M5s, before being denied a promotion by an unfortunate confluence of league ‘club bunching’ rules and tactical forfeits by bitter league opponents. Then, we had an Invincible season in 2022-23, winning every league game. However, again due to political decisions outside our hands, we’ve stayed in Division 5 but have been rejuvenated with a great new-look squad.
We’ve got a mix of experience and raw untamed talent, and have reverted to M6 of old demographics, with a rejuvenated southern hemisphere section.
Crucially, we’re still determined to gain promotion out of a fun and well-balanced league into one that will inevitably have us losing 6-0 every Saturday.
Captain’s Q&A:

Newly created mens 5 this year after a storming season by our mens 6s last year. A sociable and friendly team you’ll find us in the pub most weekends post games and probably the highest mixed turnout in the club…!

Captain: Robbie Powell
Fun social team – close on and off the field. Touring Paris in September. Not the best trainers but a good ‘whitewash’ mentality and getting better with each new recruit.

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.

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.

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 and might play some warm up games over the summer months! 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.
