The Northland men's hockey team has had a week to forget, having lost all seven matches ahead of today's National Hockey League match against North Harbour in Albany.
Northland will be hoping today's match, which will see the winner play off for fifth and sixth, has a better outcome than their round one clash in Whangarei - a 5-2 win to North Harbour.
Northland have had little to cheer, their best results being three two-point losses - to Canterbury, Capital, and Southern.
They have conceded 34 goals, the worst in the league, while only managing to put 10 away themselves.
If Northland win, they play tomorrow at 8.30am. If they lose, they play at 8.15am.
