Morpeth take point in hockey league

The green and gold were held to a 1-1 draw by mid-table Stokesley at Longhirst Hall.

That gave Durham University the chance to go top after their 2-1 success against Newcastle.

Long-time leaders Sheffield crashed to a second successive defeat as Leeds beat them 3-1 at Abbeydale.

Morpeth make the long journey to tenth-placed Leeds Adel on Saturday.
