Lomas Athletic Club

Lomas has also had a prevailing role in field hockey, with the female section being the most winning team in Argentina with 18 Metropolitano championships won, a record shared with Quilmes.

Apart from rugby and hockey, other activities practised at the club are bowls, contract bridge, cricket, golf, swimming and tennis.

[6] The sports initially practised were cricket, rugby union, association football, golf and tennis.

[7][8] Scottish Professor Alexander Watson Hutton is generally recognised as the "father" of Argentine football, after having founded the "English High School" where students formed their own team, Alumni.

At the same time, English W.W. Hayward, founder of "Lomas Academy" taught to play football to his students.

Within those years, the Lomas Athletic team won 46 games (over 60 played), establishing a record for Argentine football.

[13][14] Despite being the most successful club during the first years of Argentine football, Lomas suffered from the slow rise of rugby within the institution.

The football squad continued playing the official tournament but Lomas finished in the last positions at the end of each championship.

Since the 1930s field hockey has largely become the club's predominant sport, relegating rugby to a secondary place.

[21] Still in use to the present day, the ground hosted various local and touring sides in the 20th century, matches in both the Americas and the South American Championships.

[22] During its first years in Primera División, Lomas wore a blue and white jersey, then switching to green, gold and red which would become its traditional colors.
