Eston Hockey has run for many years and participates in the Country Districts league which is run up at the Hilton College astro.
We have a women’s and a men’s team, made up of mostly local talent but incorporating a few other sports members of the mother club from out of the area. Both our teams have done extremely well for the past few years, especially the women who have remained top of the league for many years running.
We have just installed an astro at the Eston club which is the ideal size for a 5’s league which we aim to get up and going in the next few months.
Eston Primary School have also contributed to the laying and structures of the astro at the club which means that our school children are also getting their time on the turf and the necessary skills are being taught in order for us to develop our youngsters and continue being a proud Hockey club for years to come.
