History
The history of the club starts in 1902 with the formation of Cartha Hockey Club. [3]
In 1960 Cartha moved to Clydesdale Cricket Club in seach of a better playing surface and changed their name to Clydesdale Hockey Club. [3] In 1983, the club held an international match between Scotland and Ireland which is believed to have possibly been the last international game in Scotland played on grass, although the club do accept that it is not certain that it was the last. [3]
In 1997 a new artificial pitch was completed and the clubhouse was opened in June 1998. [3]
A new junior section was created in August 2009 and indoor sessions has been held ever since at Shawlands Academy. [3]
A major development took place in May 2010, when the Glasgow Western Ladies Hockey Club voted to merge with the Clydesdale Ladies section. Glasgow were the most successful women's club in Scottish Hockey having won the Scottish title known as National League 1 at the time on 19 occasions from 1983 to 2006. Under their new name of Clydesdale Western Ladies, they secured another league title in 2014. [4]
The current venue has hosted international matches, such as the 2021 three match series of Scotland against Ireland. [5]
