Huddersfield Hawks 7 - 8 Lancaster Bombers

Sunday, 3st January 2010

Fartown Sports Complex

—————–

The Hawks were left to reflect on their  most disappointing result to date after an 8-7 defeat to the unbeaten Lancaster Bombers.

The opening exchanges of the game suggested that the game was Huddersfield’s to lose, with a pair of 3-and-outs on defence followed up by an impressive attacking drive, which was topped of by running-back Rob Lafferty’s first touchdown for the team.

Sy Hill, who played for the Hawks between 2006 and 2009, has begun training with BAFL Division 2 side Maidstone Pumas, while former defensive captain Brice Marchand will be joining up with his new teammates with Les Falcons de Bron-Villeurbanne, who play in the Third Division in his native France.

Hawks record in 2009: 5-4

As 2009 draws to a close, the Huddersfield Hawks can now reflect on a year where they recorded their first win since the club’s formation in 2006.

The year started in dramatic fashion for the Hawks, who, after 12 straight defeats, recorded a 6-0 victory over the Lancaster Bombers.  The emotional reaction of players and coaches alike will never be forgotten by those in attendance, and the momentum taken from this win spurred the team on for the remainder of the season.

Sunday 13th December, 2009

Fartown Sports Complex

———————————-

The Hawks picked up their first victory of the season with a superlative second half performance against Manchester Tyrants.

After a slow start form the home side, it was the Tyrants who took the lead with an outside run, but a good stop on the 2-point conversion try kept the lead to six.

The Hawks play their first game in a month this Sunday as they welcome the rookie Manchester Tyrants to the Fartown Sports Complex.

The Lancashire side come into the game at 1-2, on the back of their first ever win, a 14-0 victory over the second year Liverpool Fury. The Hawks, meanwhile have been frustrated by the recent poor weather which has twice put pay to their fixture against York, as well as postponing the tie with Lincoln.

It seemed for a while that this fixture would also fall victim to the weather, but hard work by the committees of both teams saw the fixture reversed.

Due to the unplayable state of Manchester’s pitch, this Sunday’s fixture has been reversed, and will be played at the Hawks home ground, the Fartown Sports Complex.

Further details to follow

The Hawks trip to York has been postponed due to the terrible weather conditions over the past fortnight.  Both sides are hoping to rearrange the game as soon as possible - keep checking back for more details

The Huddersfield Hawks travel to the county’s capital this Sunday aiming to pick up their first win of the season against an inexperienced York Centurions side.

Both sides have struggled in their first few games of the season - York failing to score on their three outings, and the Hawks producing lackluster performances against Leicester and Derby.  Something looks certain to give this Sunday, however, and one of the teams will walk away with a priceless victory.

The Centurions began life in October 2006, and this year joined Conference 2 of BUAFL.  Led by Head Coach Juan Jasso, York have this season fallen to defeats against both Sheffield sides, as well as the newly formed NTU Renegades.
