Marquis Dalefield's premier division hockey game against Northern United at Clareville on Saturday turned out to be another "what might have been" experience for the home side.
Dalefield took a deserved 2-1 lead in to the break after conceding an early goal from a penalty corner.
The equaliser came within minutes when Mitch Blackwood netted with a drag flick, also from a penalty corner. Dalefield then added a second when Alex Sumenko-Bucknell netted in open play after a precision pass from Dion Field.
The turning point came during the second half with the scores locked at 2-2 when Dalefield lost centre half Liam Workman to a head injury, forcing a reshuffle within the ranks. Northern took full advantage of the re-arrangement and ran in six unanswered goals to take out the game 8-2.
