We're pleased to announce that Nigel D'Cruz will continue to coach our Men's and Ladies' 1st XI sides for the second consecutive year. Nigel was instrumental last year for the success of our Ladies 1st XI who won their division and were promoted to Division 2NW.

Nigel is one of the most unique and effective skills coaches in the world. He has been responsible for the development of some of the most exceptional hockey talent this country has seen, with many of his players going on to represent England and GB. His exceptional coaching also sees him called upon as a skills consultant for many top senior international players.

Nigel is a level 2 qualified coach with over 15 years Premier League playing experience, including winning 2 National Premier titles, (with Southgate and Surbiton). He has played in the European Cup, (equivalent of the current day EHL), and has represented England at U21s, Vets and Over 50s levels, as well as playing in the World Cup GB Invitational team.
