Old Cranleighan Hockey Club also known as OC Hockey Club is a field hockey club that is based on Portsmouth Road, in Thames Ditton, Surrey. [1] The club was founded in 1928 for former pupils of Cranleigh School and was originally a men's only club based on the fact that the school was a boys only school. Girls started at the school during the 1970s and the club introduced ladies teams some years later. [2]

The club runs 15 teams including five men's teams with the first XI playing in the Men's England Hockey League Division One South. [3] There are five women's teams with the first XI playing in the Surrey League. [4]

In 2020 the men's first XI reached the second highest tier of English hockey by being promoted to the Men's Hockey League Division One South after winning the West Conference. [5] Unfortunately OC Hockey Club had only played six games when the 2020–21 Men's Hockey League season was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic in the United Kingdom. [6]
