The men achieved their greatest successes in the English Cup, which they won in 1978 with a 2-1 over Slough, in 1995 with a 4-1 over Teddington and in 2001 with a 2-1 over Reading HC . They were also in the 1980 final, which was lost 2-1 to Slough. The success in 1978 stands out particularly because a national championship was not held until the 1988/89 season and Guildford qualified for the EuroHockey Club Champions Cup 1979 . At the tournament in The Hague , the club placed eighth out of twelve starters. In 1996 the club again represented England at the EuroHockey Cup Winners Cup and reached 3rd place.
