H-ton Hawks 9 - 9 Unknown Opposition (Friendly Match)

The Hawks were able to field a strengthened squad, as 7 members turned out for this week's game. With a squad rotational system being implemented by the Hawks' management, Houghton and Aldridge found themselves on the bench for the start of the game.
The first half saw the lead switch backwards and forwards with some good possession, skill and passing from the Hawks. At half time the Hawks went in 6-5 up and a double substitution saw Houghton and Aldridge replace Wilson and Watchman-Atkinson. The second half saw more of the same style of play. The Hawks should have taken the win but a few unforced errors allowed the opposition to take advantage and force the draw.
The performance was much improved on previous weeks. The benefit of weekly training sessions showed and the the players' adaptation to the pace of competitive games are starting to prove that they can compete at this level. This should allow for an interesting next match against a team they were beaten 24-2 by only a few weeks ago.

The next game in Friday 15th September at 6.30pm on Court 1 against the Coach & Horses.
