History
During the 1950s, Inverleith Hockey Club members decided that Edinburgh needed more field hockey clubs. A letter was sent to Civil service employees and subsequently the Edinburgh Civil Service Hockey Club was formed. Another Edinburgh club Broughton F.P. was also formed around the same time.[2] Two pitches were obtained at Muirhouse and the first A.G.M. was held in March 1958 in St. Andrew's House, with the first fixture following in September 1958.[2]
Edinburgh Civil Service won the inaugural Scottish Hockey National League in 1975–76 and went on to win it eleven times in the first 13 years.[4]
From 1980 to 2005 they were also known as Murray International Metals (MIM) due to sponsorship reasons[5] and later played as Cala Edinburgh from 2013, again due to sponsorship from Cala Homes.[6]
