The North Stafford Hockey Club Women’s 1st XI will compete in Midlands Division 3 NW for the 2026/27 season. In recent years, the squad has moved between this league and the highly competitive Division 2, securing promotions and battling through relegations as part of their ongoing development.

After finishing 6th in a strong 2025/26 campaign, the team enters the new season with renewed determination and ambition. Led by Women’s Club Captain Libby Wallbank and Co-Captains Zara Jones and Jess Twigg, the 1st XI are focused on pushing higher up the table and mounting a serious challenge for promotion back into Division 2.

Looking ahead, the long-term vision for the Ladies 1st Team is clear: to continue building a strong, competitive squad capable of rising through the Midlands league structure and ultimately re-establishing themselves at the highest level of Women’s Midlands Hockey. Driven, ambitious and constantly developing, the team is excited for the challenges and opportunities the 2025/26 season will bring.
