[1] The club currently has six men's teams (including 2 veterans team) and four ladies teams. The junior section is the OGHC Dragons.

History

In 2019, the men's first team won the Hockey League Conference East and subsequent promotion play off tournament to earn promotion to the 2019-20 Premier Division. This is the first time in the club's history that they played in the elite (tier one) division of the Men's England Hockey League. [2]

The men's first team secured their first ever Premier Division title (with two games to spare) when winning the 2021–22 Premier Division. The success continued a remarkable rise in English hockey because the team had only been promoted into the league at the start of 2019. [3] The teams then went on to secure a league and cup double after winning the 2022 England Hockey Men's Championship Cup. [4]

In 2023, Old Georgians successfully defended their Premier League title after beating Holcombe 5–1 in the play off final. [5] They then completed their second successive double after winning the 2023 Men's Cup. [6] In 2024, Old Georgians secured a third successive league championship defeating Surbiton 3-1 in the play off final, as well as winning the National Indoor title for the first time, defeating Wimbledon Hockey Club in the final [7] . [8] They also finished in third place in the EHL tournament recording notable victories against Mannheimer HC, [9] Waterloo Ducks H.C., [10] and Rot-Weiss Köln. [11]
