West Wickham Underwater Hockey Club

BOA Women’s Nationals 2026 – Division 1 🏆

Another incredible Division 1 competition, with the highest level of play on full display.

👑 London Ladies continue their dominance, taking the national title once again. This extends an extraordinary run of success, having won every year since 2014, with only Yorkshire Ladies (2015) and South West Ladies (2019) breaking the streak.

🏅 This victory also sees London Ladies draw level with Yorkshire Ladies’ all-time record of 12 national titles — a huge milestone in the history of the competition.

Final standings:
🥇 London Ladies
🥈 Yorkshire Ladies
🥉 Wickham Ladies
4️⃣ South West Ladies
5️⃣ Southsea Ladies

🌟 MVP: Emily McKeown – delivering top-level performances when it mattered most.

An incredible achievement and a standard that continues to push the women’s game forward 👏

Wickham Ladies at Women’s Nationals 2026 💙

🥉 3rd in division 1, starting against London Ladies side and fell to a 2–0 defeat, before bouncing back immediately with a 2–1 win over South West Ladies. Confidence then built with a solid 2–0 win over Lancashire Ladies, although Yorkshire Ladies proved tough opposition and handed us a 3–0 loss in the next game.

From there, the team responded brilliantly. A 4–1 win over Dalriada got us back on track, followed by a hard-fought 1–1 draw with Southsea Ladies and a narrow 1–0 win over Dutch Ladies. Later in the day we faced Yorkshire Ladies again and were edged out 2–1, but Wickham finished on a real high with an impressive 4–1 win over South West Ladies.

A day of 5 wins, 1 draw and 3 losses, with plenty of goals, resilience and strong performances right across the squad. Lots to be proud of. 💙

This was a weekend built on teamwork, disciplined defence, smart puck movement, and constant support across the pool. Every line contributed, and the energy on the bench matched the intensity in the water.

Special credit to captain Jaz, whose leadership, decision-making, and work rate set the tone all weekend and kept the squad locked in.

Big performances across the board, with Andrew Burns leading the scoring on 15, backed up by Karl Speed and Luke Pascoe on 6, Jaz Russell and Harriet Glanville on 5, and contributions right through the team.

That performance earns 2nd seed heading into Finals.

Proud of this group.

🙏 And of course, a heartfelt thank you to all the referees and volunteers – your hard work made this fantastic weekend possible! 🌊🐙🏑

Nautilus 2025 💙 what a ride, started strong, played some serious hockey, and for most of the day we were right in the mix for top spot. Wins over Manchester, Yorkshire B, West London A and Yorkshire A had us buzzing, but that final game vs TSW… yeah, that one stings. 1–0 loss that dropped us from the top of the table to 4th on goal difference. Gutted? Yeah. Broken? Not a chance 👊

Sometimes that’s how it goes, small margins, big switches. But we gave everything, backed each other up, and played some of our top hockey. The standard is getting higher every year, and we’re right there with it 💪

Props to Yorkshire A for taking the win, we’ll hand over the Nautilus trophy for now… but best believe we’ve got our sights set on getting it back and putting West Wickham back on top where it belongs 🏆

💙 WWB, Division 2 was a step up and yeah, it didn’t all go our way, but our team held strong through every game and gave it everything until the final buzzer.

🔹 Drew with Bristol
🔹 Narrow losses to Pembroke, Southsea & TSW
🔹 Closed out with a 4–2 win over Orkney
… and made every game a fight. We didn’t back down.

We may be heading back to Div 3, but we’re taking the lessons, hitting the pool, and coming back stronger. And hey tough day or not, the vibes were 🔛🔝, nothing beats playing as a team, and partying Saturday night together in Sheffield 💃🕺

Proud of every single player who repped the B team this weekend, onwards and upwards 💙

🥇 WWC take the gold at Nautilus 2025!
