The Hillsborough Hawks U12's made a fantastic start to their league campaign with a resounding home victory against a determined Halifax vandals team.

Hawks started promisingly and after three minutes were rewarded with a try and conversion from captain Cory Aston. The strong attack continued and Jack Mitchell scooted over the line for the second try. Strong defence from Hawks forced mistakes and led to attacking possession and two further tries from Luke Turner and Matthew Bloomer. The fourth try was successfully converted by Jack Mitchell giving a half time score 20 - 0.

The second half started positively with more excellent defence and ball handling skills. Ashford Mayne and Craig Chapman made some big runs leaving space out wide for Aston to score his second try. Hawks fitness levels proved a key factor in maintaining the pressure on Halifax and further tries followed from Mitchell, Morgan Brindley and Bloomer. All converted successfully by Mitchell (2) and Aston giving the final score of 42 - 0.

All spectators were highly impressed and expect great success this season for the U12's. Hawks travel to Queensbury next Sunday.

Hillsborough Hawks U12 (12) 22 Queensbury Juniors U12 (0) 4 ......17th September 2006

Hawks travelled to Queensbury for their first away match of the season and were pleased to come away with another win. Hawks played down hill for the first half with an early try from Matthew Bloomer, converted by Jack Mitchell. When Queensbury had the ball Hawks defended very well and limited their possession. Queensbury also defended well keeping Hawks to just one further try and conversion from captain Cory Aston giving a half time score of 12-0.
Hawks knew it would be hard work going up the hill in the second half but they continued the pressure and played the slope to their advantage. Two well worked tries followed from man of the match Greg Burns and Matthew Bloomer with one conversion from Jack Mitchell. A solid defence during this half led to a single try from Queensbury despite them having the advantage of the slope.

Another excellent team performance despite being down to the bare 13 due to illness and injury.

Hawks got their county cup campaign off to a flying start with a resounding win over Wyke. Early pressure resulted in the first try from Craig Chapman successfully converted by Cory Aston. Good handling skills played their part in the second try which was well finished off by Morgan Brindley and converted by Jack Mitchell. Strong defence kept Wyke pinned deep in their own half and three further tries from Greg Burns, Matthew Bloomer and Cory Aston, two converted by Jack Mitchell and Cory Aston giving a half time score of 28-0.

The second half started with Hawks continuing to pile on the pressure but strong defence from Wyke limited the number of tries in this half. The first try came from a break on the half way line by Cory Aston, he was well supported by Carl Thomas who went on to score under the posts, converted by Jack Mitchell. Wyke tried to get on the score sheet but strong defence from all players prevented any score. The final try came from Jack Mitchell giving a final score of 38-0 and progression in to the next round.

Man of the Match today was Thomas Hague for his overall game involvement and strong tackles. A great team performance.

Illingworth U12s (10) 14 Hillsborough Hawks U12's (0) 6 ...15th October 2006

Hawks travelled away to Illingworth and lost their first league game of the season through some lapses of concentration in defence and positive attack from the opposition.

Illingworth were first on the score sheet with an unconverted try. Hawks then faced further disappointment when captain Cory Aston went off injured and was unable to return, the team had to reorganise themselves and took a while to get used to their new positions. Illingworth took advantage and scored again to give a half time score of 10-0.
Second half started more positively but strong defence from the opposition kept the Hawks scoreless until Man of the Match Morgan Brindley scored with 9 minutes to go and Jack Mitchell scored the conversion. This put the result in the balance but Illingworth took advantage of minor errors to score a further try just before the final whistle, Hawks battled but were unable to score in the dying minutes.

The Hawks drew Embassy Longhill at home in the second round of the County cup and were expecting a tough game from the Hull team.

The first 10 minutes of the match were very even with both teams trying to make an impression but failing to get on the score sheet. Hawks were the first to score with a well worked try from Matthew Bloomer. Hawks continued to push for more points in this first half but a strong Embassy defence kept the scoreline at 4-0 going in to half time.

Embassy started the second half a little stronger and were rewarded with an early try. The game was now in the balance and remained a nail biting 4-4 for the next 15 minutes. Thrilling entertainment for all spectators as both teams performed well in attack and defence but failed to score. With just 3 minutes remaining Morgan Brindley burst through a gap that didn't exist to touch down and gain the vital points. Hawks managed to keep the ball for the dying minutes to secure the game and their position in the quarter finals. Final score 8-4

A fantastic team performance from all 13 players made the Man of the Match selection very difficult but it was decided Jake Johnson should receive the honours for his strong performance.

Another cup game next week away at Newsome in the West Riding cup.

Sheffield Hillsborough Hawks U12's (16) 20 - Newsome U12's (14)18 ...29th October 2006

Hawks had only 12 players but that didn't deter them as they made a fantastic start. Man of the match Jack Mitchell scored a great individual try straight under the posts in the first few minutes successfully converted by Cory Aston. Hawks continued to put on pressure in defence and soon got the ball back. Strong running from the forwards resulted in Jack Mitchell scooting over for his second try which he successfully converted. Jack scored one more try in the first half to give a score of 16-14 going in to half time and leaving the result in the balance. Both teams played well. Daniel Bell found space to score and although Newsome replied, progression for the Hawks to the quarter finals was assured

Sheffield Hillsborough Hawks U12s 4 - King Cross U12s 10....5th November 2006

Hawks U12's faced King Cross in the quarter final of the County cup. King Cross have been unbeaten for the last three seasons, are top of the premier league and have not conceded a try for the last three games. Hawks knew they had to perform to the best of their ability to prevent a walkover and needed a bit of a luck to pull off a shock win. Unfortunately this was not the case despite a valiant effort from the team.

They got off to a bad start when they conceded an early try as a result of King Cross's excellent passing. Strong defence and good tactical kicking kept hawks in the game until King Cross spotted an opening again and took their chance well. Half time 10-0.

Hawks turned round the second half with a slight wind advantage and put everything they had into the game. A precise kick and chase from captain Cory Aston resulted in a try which opened the game up. Both teams battled for the final 10 minutes but neither were able to break through the superb defence to add to the score sheet. Final score 10-4.

Man of the match awarded to Greg Burns.

An excellent all round team performance. Siddal in the cup at home next week.
