D-Day is close at hand for the Dalefield premier men's hockey squad.
A decision as to whether they will participate in Wellington's top inter-club league in 2012 will be made within the next 7 to 10 days.
The newly appointed coach, former Black Stick Greg Clark, will run a training session at the Clareville complex tonight at 7pm and another similar session next week.
He will make an assessment of the players at both sessions before deciding the team's immediate future.
"Obviously we are going to be very interested in what Greg has to say, if he believes we can be competitive then we will very probably press on," Dalefield club captain Murray Nielsen said yesterday.
