Dalefield were outgunned by Harbour City in their Wellington premier division men's hockey match played at the National Hockey Stadium in Wellington on Saturday.
Harbour City won 8-1, a comprehensive reversal of the previous meeting between the two sides when Dalefield had scored an upset one-goal victory. Dalefield manager Dave Blackwood said it was a case of Harbour City bringing their A game to this particular match and Dalefield lacking the intensity and hunger to be competitive.
"I don't know what it was, we just weren't there, " Blackwood said. "They (Harbour City) were up for it and we weren't, that was pretty much it."
Dalefield did create scoring chances but too many attacks broke down through basic errors.
