Bellbowrie Hockey Club

Bellbowrie Hockey Club was founded in around 1982 and BHC participated in the Ipswich Hockey Competition as part of Bellbowrie, Rosewood and Bellrose Clubs.  From 1985 Bellbowrie fielded teams in the Brisbane Hockey Association (BHA) and Brisbane Women’s Hockey Association (BWHA), before rejoining IHA again, as Bellbowrie, in 1995.  Read more about our club history, values and goals.

New BHC Management Committee 2011

Eden’s undying willingness to help BHC on the field (in C grade and every Senior women’s grade) and off the field (through umpiring, canteen, selling chocolates, helping at club events etc etc.) means she’s well deserving of this award.

BHC Junior Club Member of the year  2011 - Eden Jackat

Congratulations Eden

Bellbowrie Hockey Club is a not for profit sporting club which, since its origins in the 1980s, has grown to over 220 members.  In 2010 we fielded 14 teams across junior and senior social, competitive and developmental grades

Bellbowrie Hockey Club has a strong junior base and development focus, with 65% of our members under the age of 18 years.  The majority of our members are drawn from the west and southwestern suburbs of Brisbane and north eastern suburbs of Ipswich, including Springfield & Forest Lake in the south, Jindalee & Indooroopilly in the north, and Chapel Hill, Kenmore, Brookfield, Bellbowrie, Anstead, Karana Downs and Mount Crosby in the west..  Our members include individuals and families wanting a challenging or social way to keep fit, meet new friends and have fun as part of a friendly sporting community.

Games are played at the Ipswich Hockey Association (IHA) grounds, 65 Briggs Road Ipswich, from 7pm Friday night through to 5pm Sunday night (Juniors play during daytime hours).  Seniors & U15s generally train on Tuesday nights at the IHA complex (some teams also do fitness training at Bellbowrie).  Juniors (U13 and below) generally train on the grass fields at the Bellbowrie Sports and Recreation Club , Sugarwood Street, Bellbowrie. 

Have a look at our photos, what we’re doing with club development and what events we’re running and contact one of our coordinators or our secretary to see how you can become part of the awesome Bellbowrie Hockey Club.
