As it turned out organising a friendly matches was not a problem, however back in 1958 transport was. Not to be detered a B.I.C.C lorry was commisioned, a bivouac was put on the back for shelter and they were off to distant lands such as Eccleston, Liverpool and St. Helens. Little did they know then that they were setting up for the future generation trips to Germany, Scotland, Ireland and the Isle of Man.   

In these distant days, all the games were friendly.

Being classed as a works side it was difficult to play against any of the elite clubs of the day. It was only in the Lancashire Cup they could experience the days of defeat (occasioally heavy) at the hands of the top clubs.

As time went on though the level of hockey improved and Prescot Hockey Club began an assault on the Mens North west League and also with the advent of a ladies section began a very strong traditon in Lancashire Ladies Hockey and beyond.

Back in the early 80's Prescot Hockey Club boasted one of the best Astro Turf pitches in the country.Over the next decade we were proud to host many national and international competitions including warm up games for the victorious 1988 Great Britain Olympic side. Great players of the past such as Sean Kearly, Ian Taylor (still arguably the greatest hockey goalkeper of all time), Imran Sherwani and Steve Batchelor all played on the pitches at Precot numerous times in their illustrious careers.
