Where it started<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The club was founded in 1909 by student gymnasts as an after class leisure pursuit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For over 60 years Pitreavie Playing Fields was the home of hockey in Dunfermline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the need for the club to be able to play on a modern Astro Turf pitch, to keep up with advances in the game of hockey, it saw the club moving several times over the next couple of decades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For 13 years our home pitch was based down at Caledonia at Rosyth. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

But sale of the land in 2013 saw us once again on the move. This time out of the Dunfermline area, to a new pitch at The Michael Woods Sports Centre at Glenrothes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

However, in October 2024, with the new learning campus created to house two high schools and the college on the one site, the club has once again had to move. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A somewhat closer move than in previous years, hopefully the club will not have to move again for a number of years, firmly keeping the ‘Dunfermline’ in Dunfermline Carnegie Hockey Club.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
