DATEN Hockey Club's ladies first team never recovered from a poor start and went down 3-0 to Neston.

Neston scored their first goal from a set piece and Daten had a few chances but found the keeper in top form

Carla Metcalf almost stopped a penalty flick which put Daten 2-0 down and when Neston added a third from a set piece, it was 3-0 at half time.

Daten improved after half time but could not crack the Neston defence. Man of the match was Beth Millman.

The men's second team only had 10 players at Didsbury Northern and this was soon down to nine following an injury to a player.

On the defensive for much of the game, Daten did well to restrict Didsbury to three goals. Man of the match wasColin Madhan.
