Marquis Dalefield men's hockey team host Northern United from Wellington on Saturday at Clareville.
Dalefield will be keen to register a win against a side labelled by team manager Dave Blackwood as "something of an unknown quantity".
"They will be competitive like ourselves but traditionally we have found them difficult to break down" he said.
Dalefield go in to the game with a full squad but will be bolstered by the return of striker Joseph Robertson who played in a Capital U21 tournament in Blenheim last weekend. He is sure to provide more firepower up front which may be the crucial factor.
