History
Morpeth Cricket Hockey and Tennis Club began life as seperate Sections and at different times. Cricket were formed first in 1850 and eventually some members branched out into Tennis and so Cricket and Tennis flourished side by side at the clubs grounds at Stobhill just on the edge of Morpeth Town centre In 1922 some intrepid Morpethians formed a Mens Hockey Team and were playing their games on a farm meadow between Morpeth and The village of Pegswood.
The first mention of Ladies Hockey appears in the record books in 1928. The Hockey teams began to hire the cricket pitch for matches and were fully absorbed into the Cricket & Tennis Club in 1948. The Club played their last match at Stobhill in September 1994 and moved to their present location in October of the same year
