Forestville Hockey Club is a hockey club in Adelaide, South Australia.

History

Forestville Hockey Club was formed in 1905 by Harry Cowham in an effort to get people living in Unley, South Australia, interested in playing hockey. Forestville competed in that year against: St John's, Sturt, West Torrens, Rosemount, East Torrens, Bankville and North Adelaide. Forestville is the oldest of the South Australian clubs and it is believed to be the oldest playing in Australia. The club's first 'pitch' was in a paddock near Leah St. Forestville, not far from its present Goodwood Oval location. Forestville play a majority of their home games at the State Hockey Centre. The venue has been home to Forestville games since 1992.
