Welcome
to Timperley Men's Hockey!
In 1886 Timperley
Hockey Club was formed and became the first (and the oldest) club in the
North of England. The clubs first match was against Almondbury (nr
Huddersfield in Yorkshire) in October 1887. The match report in the Bowdon
Advertiser records: 'owing to the late arrival of the visitors train, the
leather was not started until 4.45, leaving only 50 minutes for play.
Timperley won 2-0.
Timperley continues
today and currently has five men's hockey teams.
The first team
continues to strive towards promotion to the National league and last year
had a strong performance in the Northern Premier League
2007-08 sees the
return of its "badgers" team which complements our Junior Hockey
Academy.
