It is with profound sadness that we have learned of the death of Grace O’Malley Kumar,a huge talent & much loved member of Southgate U18’s & W1’s. We are shocked & devastated by the news,our thoughts & sincere condolences are with Grace’s family,friends and teammates. 💔
Southgate members gathered last night as the sun set in Trent Park for a minutes silence. We were joined by members from other local clubs as together we remembered and paid tribute to Grace O’Malley Kumar and the other victims of the Nottingham attacks.

We still pinch ourselves everyday for our facilities. We're so lucky that we get to enjoy two great pitches, a beautiful clubhouse and such a friendly sporting atmosphere
The aim of Super Saturday was to showcase the best of club hockey. We set out to break a record and frankly we have no idea whether we achieved this or not.
Perhaps the more important record to us is that more people came to watch one of our home club games than ever before.
We are delighted to announce the appointment of Mike Williamson as Men’s 1st Team Head Coach for the start of the 2020/21 season.
Mike brings to Southgate a wealth of experience and coaching success. (1/2)
