History
Duchy HC was formed in 2009 by a group of local hockey enthusiasts with the intention of bringing club hockey back to the Camborne/Redruth area, following the demise, during the 1990s of CamReds HC and St. Agnes HC.
The club was initially formed with a Men's 1st XI, which competed in the Davis Wood Hockey League from the 2009–10 season, winning the South Western District One title in their first year. As of the 2010–11 season, the club includes a Men's 1st XI, Men's 2nd XI and Ladies 1st XI. The Ladies 1st XI competed in Trelawney Division 2 of the West Club's Women's League in 2011–12, winning the division in their debut season.
Club colours
The club colours of black, white and gold are based upon the black-and-white flag of Saint Piran (the patron saint of Cornwall) and the black-and-gold coat of arms of the Duchy of Cornwall.
The club home kit features predominantly black shirts with a white cross and gold trim, black shorts trimmed with white and gold, and black and white hooped socks. The club away kit features gold shirts trimmed with black.
