The Team was formed in 2010 by a recent crop of graduates and older current students who wanted to continue to play together post University, They entered into the Yorkshire League Division 4 and finished second in their first season 2010-2011 gaining promotion to Div 3! Following that we entered the Old Boys League at the BUCS Tournament in 2011 and with a reduced strength side came a respectable 11th place.
The team has gone from strength to strength with more graduated members of the very successful Open and Ladies teams from the 2010 - 2011 season.
2011/2012 season we finished first in the Yorkshire League division 3 unbeaten and gaining promotion to Div 2, we improved upon our standing at BUCS Old Boys 2012 finishing 10th this year and Recently finished 5th in Class 3 at Liverpool International.
2012/2013 Season the team entered into the Inaugural North West & Central League, starting in division two as well as continuing to enter the Yorkshire league in the newly promoted position in Division 2. With twice as many tournaments to play the team were able to come together and gel much better even with some important injuries resulting in a respectable 4th place (out of 10) in the Yorkshire League and a slightly less respectable 7th (out of 8) in the new North West and Central League. Due to a number of injuries and a wedding a reduced strength side came a disappointing joint 15th (out of 16) at BUCS but the team finished the year on a major high coming away with 3rd place and a trophy at the Liverpool International in June.
2013/2014 Season the team came 7th in the North West & Central League, again in Division 2 but dropped the Yorkshire League in favour of entering into the National League Division 4 North. Ending a great run of 3 years showing the Yorkies just how to win, and coming a respectable 4th!
2014/2015 Season the team once again played in the North West & Central League Division 2 and placed 2nd, and with the growing membership managed to field a novice team in Division 4 placing 3rd. The National Div 4 North team came 3rd again. This year we also made our first adventure into European Polo, by attending the Amsterdam Open and for the first time were able to have a team representing at all 4 British international events.
