Since the early 20th Century, the Varsity Hockey Matches has included the Schools' Varsity Matches as a precursor to the Men's & Women's Varsity Matches.

Each year, the former schools (or clubs) of the respective Oxford and Cambridge captains are invited to take to the field, in what has become a highlight of the Varsity Hockey Matches event. It is great opportunity for the aspiring Oxbridge athletes of the future to have a taste of playing in such a historic occasion. Who knows, in a few years time, they too could be representing the Dark or Light Blues... 

The winner of each match gets the glory of taking home the Lochhead & Bogden trophies, cementing their place in the Varsity Hockey Match history!
