The hawks faced a tough game against Wandsworth demons and when two of the big boys, Scuba and Benny, were ruled out due to injury they were really up against it. This showed with the boys struggling in a very one sided first quarter into the wind where the demons piled on goals.
With the first 6 preferred ruckmen unavailable, the hawks were left with Choco jumping for the pill. The second quarter was an even affair, the Hawks getting their first goal through Irish veteran Kieren. Katsy then put another one through from close range and the Hawks worked well as a team into the main break.
Against the wind in the third quarter the Hawks again struggled, though Birksy kicked a fantastic team goal, finishing well on the run.
At the final break the hawks were well out of it, but true to the hawker spirit, these boys will never throw it away. After getting in close together and pledging to eachother to give it everything they had, the Hawks rallied together in the final term and hit the ball hard. A second goal to Katsy and a late goal to star Englishman Jay finished the game well. The boys came off sore, tired and without the points, but far from defeated, knowing they gave their all. 7 hours later they were all still at the club having all enjoyed a fantastic trivia night together...
