Women's Blues

Captain's Welcome

Following promotion from South Central Premier Division 1 2024/25, the Women's Blues will be playing in England Hockey EHL Women's National Conference West 2025/26. We compete in the IGC BUCS Premier South on Wednesdays, and after narrowly missing out on promotion in the 2024/25 season due to goal difference, we're looking forward to an exciting campaign next season. 

​

The Varsity match played in March against Cambridge at Southgate Hockey Club is always a highlight in the WBs  calendar with a livestream with thousands of views and a large pitch-side crowd full of friends, family and alumni. After a tight match leading to a win off shuffles, we are looking to forward to defending the trophy come March!

​

In addition to playing two matches per week, our weekly training schedule includes two 2-hour pitch sessions with our professional coach, Johann Perera, and two strength and conditioning sessions in the Iffley Road Blues' gym with our S&C coach. In addition, we have nutrition and psychology sessions throughout the season through the Blues Performance Scheme.

​

Playing for the Blues is a big but rewarding commitment, both on and off the pitch. It is perfectly achievable to succeed academically, play high-level hockey, and enjoy a fun, social environment (having team and integrated socials through the week). We're a close-knit group of friends that work hard together and support each other through demanding Oxford degrees.

If you are a new player joining Oxford, we would love to hear from you! Please fill out the new player's form on the website or get in touch using ouchwbcaptain@gmail.com
