Trojans Mens 1st XL went unbeaten throughout the season, winning the South Central Premier Division 1 league.

The team achieved a flawless and historic season, winning all of their games.

They recorded a perfect 22-0-0 record in the South Central Premier Division 1, securing the league title and earning direct promotion to the England Hockey National League Conference West.

Because their campaign went completely undefeated, the squad was awarded the Open/Men's Team of the Year at the 2026 England Hockey Award at a black tie event recently in Nottingham.

They now look forward to playing in the EHL Conference West in the 2026-7 season, a welcome return to the National League.

First team manager Paul Oakley said: "It has been an incredible season and one that everyone connected with Trojans can be immensely proud of.

"To go unbeaten and win the South Central Premier Division 1 title in this way is a fantastic achievement, but to then be recognised as The Hockey Association Team of the Year makes it even more special.

"This success is a reflection of the commitment, hard work and togetherness shown by every player, coach and volunteer throughout the year.

"Special mention to coach Ian Bassett and the squad has fully embraced the standards and culture we've worked hard to create.

"We're delighted to be returning to the National League with promotion to EHL Conference West.

"The challenge ahead is exciting and we're already looking forward to what comes next."
