The Club was formed in 1936 as Rawdon and District Hockey Club but after the war became known as Horsforth HC. The mid sixties were a 'golden' era when the Club provided 7 players for the Yorkshire County Team. The Captain at the time, David Higham, amassed over two hundred county caps and played for England.
The Club later moved to play at Farsley Cricket Club and changed name to become Farsley HC. A new pavilion was built on the Ground in conjunction with the Cricket and Bowling Sections and was opened in 1972.

With the move to playing on astroturf, the Club then relocated to Horsfoth School and the name was changed to Leeds HC. Under this banner the club has gone from strength to strength and now fields 7 Men's teams and 4 Ladies teams. The Mens 1st XI now plays in the North Division One.

The latest chapter in the Club's history sees us forming an exciting partnership with The University of Leeds. This has seen us relocate most of our games to the excellent facilities at Weetwood in Headingley, giving us a fantastic base from which to further develop both our club and hockey in the region. With this the club has an exciting future, being able to attract the calibre of players and coaches that the city of Leeds deserves in it's Club.

Next chapter is down to the current members, and junior members alike...
