Re: 100 Years Young

In 1999 & 2000, Dunfermline Ladies HC and Kirkcaldy HC merge respectively with DCHC plus new long-term sponsorship with Alpha Data

A number of successes and final appearances have since been achieved by DCHC teams in Scottish Plate, Reserve Plate, District Plate competitions. At present, DCHC run seven teams for the men and two for the ladies, with both the 1st XI's playing National League hockey

Centenary celebrations for 2009/2010 season, involve Centenary Dinner on Saturday 31st October, whilst next day a President XI's will play a DCHC Exiles XI, plus the Club’s Veterans will play Scotland over 60's. Other planned events for 2010 include a Sportspersons Dinner, together with other Centenary & Youth Tournaments.

Hew Bishop, current President of DCHC, started playing with the club in 1968 and is still turning out rain or shine on Saturdays and Sundays, said: “During the years of my involvement with the Club, the men’s section has grown from three to seven teams and whilst the ladies fluctuate between two & three teams, the Youth Development has allowed for a huge growth in colts & juniors playing the game.”

He added: “However, the Club also owes a great debt to the foresight and determination of the many individuals who over the years have worked to secure this position of security and success, whilst the current Committee continues to ensure the Club’s long- term future.”

“It is a privilege and an honour to hold office in the Club’s Centenary Season and my thanks must go to all members, past and present, our sponsors over the years and the many partner agencies for their continued support.”
