The Club 4-3 H-ton Hawks (Wednesday Hetton Soccer-6)

For the second week in a row, the Hawks suffered defeat at the hands of The Club
The Hawks team line-up was the same as last week's (Aldridge, Borthwick, Garrity, Houghton, Craig(Jaff), Lawrence) plus the addition of Steve Mapstone.

The match was a closer fought affair than the previous week's game. The Hawks were the first to strike. Borthwick stole the ball on the half way and scored from his solo run through the middle. Then in a mirror of the previous week, The Club scored 4 without response. The second half saw the Hawks bounce back with Borthwick picking up his second and Garrity opening his Hawks scoring account. The Hawks can feel thy missed out on picking up points on the re-launch of the league. They were unlucky not to have scored more and the defence was relatively solid (for the second half at least). The referee also had a poor game. He gave The Club both the centre kick offs, dismissed a blatant infraction into the box by The Club. There was also some other questionable decisions against and for both teams.

The next game is at the earlier time of 6pm, 25th April against Alan's Allstars
