🚨 Coaching Announcement 🚨

We’re really pleased to announce that @ashdown_ollie will be joining Sheffield University Bankers Hockey Club next season as our new Performance Squad Coach and Men’s 1st XI Player. 💙

Ollie joins after four years playing and coaching at @officialbeehc in the National Premier Division, bringing with him a huge amount of experience from the very top end of the domestic game.

For a club like ours, this is a wonderfully exciting addition and another positive step forward in the journey we’re on together.

🗣️ @mattgodden , Director of Performance Hockey:

“Following the promotion of the Men’s 1st XI into National Conference North and the Men’s 2nd XI to YNE Division 1, this coaching appointment was a critical one to get right.

Having spoken to Ollie at length in recent weeks, I am confident that this is an outstanding appointment for SUBHC.

Ollie is not only an outstanding player, but has a wealth of coaching experience. Coming straight from a Premier League set up, following Beeston’s miraculous ‘great escape’, means he brings with him standards that will undoubtedly drive forward our Men’s Performance Squad in this next phase of its journey.”

🗣️ Ollie Ashdown:

“I am excited to join SUBHC as the Player Coach of the Men’s Performance Squads for the oncoming season, to play alongside old friends once again.

Matt Godden has setup some very big shoes to fill after such a massively successful season for the performance squad, and the club as a whole.

I am confident my energy, intensity and experience is going to support keeping the club on its current trajectory.”

We’re incredibly grateful to Ollie for buying into what we’re building at SUBHC and can’t wait to get started for the 2026/27 season. 📈

Congratulations to all of our Area winners!

We had such a wonderful time yesterday hosting the first of a number of U8 Development Tournaments in South Yorkshire! There was some excellent hockey on display and even better sportsmanship by all the teams!

Big well done to all our players, organisers, cake and coffee stall runners, coaches and junior leaders (who doubled up as umpires)!

See you all at the next one @rotherhamhockeyclub @barnsleyhockeyclub @sheffieldhockeyclub @chapeltownhockeyclub @chesterfield_hc & @doncasterhockey 🙌

What a season. 💫

We’re incredibly proud to share that our Men’s 1st XI have been shortlisted for the England Hockey Awards Men’s/Open Team of the Year 2026. 🏑

A fitting recognition for a group that has delivered one of the greatest seasons in our club’s history:

🏆 Yorkshire & North East Premier Division Champions
⬆️ Promoted to the England Hockey National League Conferecr North
🏆 England Hockey Tier 2 National Trophy Winners

But beyond the silverware, this team has represented everything SUBHC is about with ambition, togetherness, resilience, support across the whole club and a genuine love for the game.

From league battles across the North to a national final victory, the lads have produced moments we’ll remember for a very long time!

Massive congratulations to every player, coach, volunteer and supporter who has been part of the journey. This recognition belongs to all of you too. 💙🤍

@sheffbankershc vs @jerseyhockey in the Men’s Trophy Final

Buzzing to see Sheffield University Bankers Hockey Club in the spotlight! 🏑

We’ve been featured in @thesheffieldstar following an incredible season across the city, and it’s great to see the momentum, success, and growth getting the recognition it deserves.

For us at SUBHC, this one feels special. National success, promotions, a thriving junior section, and real community impact through Hockey in the Community… it’s all part of a much bigger story that’s building here in South Yorkshire.

Proud to be part of it, proud to represent this city and proud that people are starting to take notice.

Sometimes sport gives you the highest highs… and sometimes it breaks your heart. 💔🏑

Our O35s were seconds away from another dramatic set of shuffles… 2–2, last play of the game… and it slipped away on the final touch.

A proper battle against Burnt Ash HC, full of quality, grit, and everything that makes this team so special. It could have gone either way, and on another day, it does.

Huge credit to the opposition for a brilliant contest played in the right spirit 👏

Another a big shoutout to @__jonny_05 for capturing the moments that tell the story! 📸

Proud of you masters!! 💙🤍

Still not over this! 💙🤍🏑

A few moments from a very special day, courtesy of @__jonny_05 !

Full time: 1–1
Shuffles: 3–2
National Champions. 🏆

Massive thanks, again, to @jerseyhockey for an incredible game played in the right spirit.

These are the days you play for. 💙🤍

What a day. What a game. What a team. 💙🤍🏑

Our Men’s 1st XI are @englandhockey TIER 2 TROPHY NATIONAL CHAMPIONS.

We came out flying, taking the lead in the first quarter through a rocket of a short corner from Will Hearne 🚀 and carried that 1–0 edge into half time. Jersey fought back hard, equalising in the third quarter, and from there it was a proper battle… 1–1 at full time, nothing to separate the sides.

So it went to shuffles.

Big moments. Big nerves. Big players.

And the boys delivered… 3–2 in the shuffles. Skipper @aidanfriskney pulling off some huge saves & @s_am.jones scoring the winning shuffle. Ice cold. Absolute bottle. Champions. 🏆

We couldn’t have asked for a better game or better opponents. Massive respect to Jersey Hockey Club who pushed us all the way and showed exactly what this level is about – quality, intensity, and proper spirit.

Today belongs to this group and rounds off an incredible season that sees the team return to national league having won the @yne.hockey premier division!

Every sprint. Every tackle. Every moment of belief this season has led to this.

National champions… not to be sniffed at.

So, so proud of you boys. Go and enjoy it. 💙🤍
