Ashmoor Hockey Club
hockey club in Devon, England
Ashmoor Hockey Club is a hockey club that was formed in 2003, based primarily in Ashburton, Devon, England.
The club has had to play its league matches at Isca College Exeter since around 2007, because the 3G pitch at their home base of South Dartmoor Community College did not meet the new requirements of the International Hockey Federation (FIH) or England Hockey Board, but moved to King Edward VI Community College (KEVICC) in Totnes for the 2017–18 season after their new astro turf was built, so they rarely play at ISCA College during their home matches. They play in purple, green and white hooped socks, white shorts, and purple shirts.
The Men's 1st team (formed when the club was established) has risen the equivalent of 8 divisions in their 7 seasons as a team winning 3 leagues and finishing strongly in the other seasons. The Ladies' team won Channel 2B in their first season as a team. The majority of Ashmoor's success however comes from their junior teams. The most notable successes have been the 5 National Indoor appearances and the National U15 Plate run that took them to a final with Teddington Hockey Club (the oldest club in the world), which they lost 3 – 0. During the 2018–19 season the Men's 1s will be playing the in Verde ReCreo Hockey League Premiership, which is one league above the Men's Conference West League (National League)
The Men's 2nd Team won promotion to the Men's Verde Recreo Hockey League Southern 2 during the 2017–18 season coming behind Devonport Service in the second with a goal difference of 69 in the 2017–18 Verde Recreo Men's Hockey League South West 1, which this season will be the highest the 2s have ever played in league history.
Many players have represented Devon county and played for the West of England teams, and several players have made the full England Junior squads, the Wales squads, and 6 being selected for the UK Lions.
As of 2023-24 they compete in the Men's national league western division.

Why this record matters
The phrase “hockey club in Devon, England” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 18, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q4805683. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2003, 2007, 2017 and 2018.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
