As a parent was treated to a team playing without their coach to a game of 13 players doing what their best at rugby, Match report will follow but in the mean time. Sheffield took the lead and apart from a few mistakes stayed the leaders, 2 tries from Nathan Sharpe ( man of the match ) 2 tries from Ben Hawksworth plus 1 conversion. 2 tries from David Brown. Special mentions for Miles Wood Vice Captain Great runs keep those feet going and keep the one two going it made a difference. Special mention to Thomas Atkinson it's not always easy to kick mate but you with your strength and your ability will get there. The whole team deserves a man of the match you did what a coach would except and look to your captain and for most you played as a team. Well done. Thank you all for a good match to watch , Boy's you deserved the win . Julie Hawksworth

Sheffield Hillsborough Hawks U12s 6 Wibsey U12s 40 ...9th October

From kick off, Hawks were under pressure by forward moving Wibsey. Soon into play and Hawks were complaining of intimidating tactics from their opposition. Words do not hurt Hawks. Each & every time Wibsey took hold of the ball, they stormed through an ill disciplined Hawks defence line, severe lack of tackling from Hawks until the last ten minutes of the game. Hawks saw some individual good play, culminating in ground being made, but only in the second half. The only piece of superb team play seen today was when they passed the ball safely and a very determined ‘ joint man-of-the match’ winner, James Proctor was insistent that his team mates would not suffer another ‘ nilling. ’ James converted his try putting Hawks on the score board with six well worked points. Great determination from James Proctor. Some great tackling was seen from Hawks Captain Ben Hawksworth. His Vice Captain & ‘joint man-of-the-match’ winner Myles Wood gave his all for his team today. He took hold of the ball at every possible opportunity and made good ground for Hawks each and every time he was in possession of the ball. Brilliant performance Myles! Rory Wheatcroft took a drop out kick when one of the Hawks players was caught & tackled over his line. Rory drop-kicked out, and up the field of play seeing his efforts rewarded by the ball going into touch and then regained by Hawks. Hawks still remain standing each time they were in defence, no effort being made to put the opposition under pressure by moving up, in line when in defence. That and overall poor tackling being Hawks downfall once again today. Hawks lost 6 – 40 against a very well disciplined team who incidentally have played together as a team for some five years or more.

Ovenden (28) 38 Sheffield Hillsborough Hawks (0) 16 .................30th October

First time this season with not only 13 players ready to start but also three willing subs vying for a game. Subs were quickly utilised when it became apparent that Hawks were still half asleep. Ovenden used two large players to slice though Hawks defence with ease giving Ovenden a 28 point lead at half time, Hawks with no score.

Poor tackling if any, once again Hawks downfall. Surprising to say the least when Jack Howieson of Sheffield Eagles gave his time last Tuesday's training session to assist in showing how tackling should be done.

Second half started much the same with Ovenden walking through Hawks defence to score again. Finally, thank heavens, Hawks got into their stride seeing three tries scored, two from James Proctor and what was described as a joint try by Captain Ben Hawksworth & Alistair Bell. Captain Ben allowing the try to his team mate Alistair for the score sheet sake. Very noble Ben, well done and good captaincy. Superb second half tackling was seen by Josh Plester, Danny Smith & a set of three consecutive tackles from Rory Wheatcroft. Danny Smith worked well throughout the game tackling and running the ball whenever he had hold of it. His efforts earned him the well deserved ' Man-of-the-Match' award. Danny suffered a hard hand off to the throat moment before final whistle was blown. Well done Danny great work. Vice Captain Myles Wood got stuck in as always and took the ball from as many 'play the ball' as he possibly could seeing good ground being made. Captain Ben still nursing a back injury from last weeks game still found the courage to take on one & all. Great team effort lads.

When matters were looking grim, James Proctor took matters into his own hands to work his way through a strong defensive line twice, scoring two fabulous tries. His second half tackling was the best seen for quite some time, one in particular seeing him lift the largest player on the field upwards and heavily backwards. That was the point that Hawks lifted their heads and got stuck in as we know then can. Three restart kicks ( after tries scored ) from Rory Wheatcroft saw Hawks retain the ball from their kick off culminating in two of the three tries for Hawks coming immediately. Rory converted two of his three kicks bringing the final score line to 38 - 16.

Disappointing start to the game, last quarter, they played out of their skins, thanks to James Proctor giving the team their pride back.

ROYDS U12s 0 SHEFFIELD HILLSBOROUGH HAWKS U12s 22 ...6th November 2005
 

Mud ...... What mud?

Sheffield Hillsborough Hawks played their return match against Royds, away from home. Both teams were 'up for it', conditions akin to a quagmire!!

Hawks defence today shown at their best, lads working together and covering all options. Captain Ben Hawksworth appointing David Brown as Vice Captain for today's game. Royds won the toss and kicked toward the Hawks. No knock on and off into action. Hawks took a little time getting into their stride seeing them have a six point lead to nil at half time.

Second half and straight into their game, more cohesion, more team play good movement of the ball around the field of play. Give Royds their due, they were a vastly improved team from when Hawks took them on at home winning 56 - 0. Efforts from both Danny Smith & Josh Pleaster on either side of each other, on wing, were thwarted only by splendid defence from an under pressure Royds.

Just like you see the GB team do when they're not robbed of what rightfully should be theirs ( That tri cup thingy ). BW

Said as a true Yorkshireman with less knowledge of rugby Union as I have of league. Willing to learn though! 'Man-of-the-Match' winner today, Kirk Atherton, used his strength to plough through Royds defence twice, one culminating in a well deserved try scored. In only his second game for his team Kirk showed true team spirit by looking to off-load whilst having no fear that his opponents would get the upper hand. Fantastic game Kirk, keep up the great work. 'Extras' ( 2 points ) courtesy of Rory Wheatcroft. Nathan Sharpe, as ever in the thick of the action. Great runs, good well meant tackles & consistent now Nathan, just like you do in training, great to see, great work rate Nathan, keep it up. Not first, not second but third attempt saw today's Vice captain David Brown storm over the line to add another well deserved four points for his team. Extras - Rory Wheatcroft. Good team play, culminating in Rory Wheatcroft scoring a 'well - shared' try. Good dummy pass to Josh, it was so good that Josh also dived over the line as he thought he had taken the ball from Rory. Great team effort on this particular try. Extras, - Rory Wheatcroft. Hawks saw Tom Atkinson 'back in good from' seeing Tom score a great try but also saw Tom doing some of his famed 'steam engine' runs at each & every opportunity. Great game Tom, keep going forward mate as you did today. Once more, special mention to Alex Mitchell for his unbelievable tackling throughout both halves of the game. Astounding bravery from Hawk's, shall we say, " not quite the tallest in the team" but definitely the one with the heart of a lion!! Superb Alex!

Final score line; Royds 0 - Sheffield Hillsborough Hawks 22. That tells us either Royds have improved approximately 50% since last we played them when we set a score line of Hawks 56 - Royds nil or perhaps we should have seen a little more effort from Hawks !! Superb effort lads, a little bit more please when we play Wyke this coming Sunday.

SHEFFIELD HILLSBOROUGH HAWKS U12s (20) 30 MELTHAM ALL BLACKS U12s (0) 12 .....13th November

Hawks saw a squad of 16 players vying for a position to start play, all eager to show Meltham how much they have improved from last they played them. A hard game was fought from kick-off. Good defensive play was seen by Meltham, once again Hawks dodging their responsibility when tackling, on the whole. We are a team Hawks & cannot rely on a few of our players tackling, all must do their bit. Still slow moving up in defence Hawks!  Captain Ben Hawksworth took command of his team, delegating responsibility for the 'forwards' to his Vice Captain Myles Wood. Some quick play of the ball seeing acting dummy half's taking runs wherever possible. Quick play saw Hawks with a convincing 20 nil lead at half time, much to the displeasure of Meltham's coaching staff.

Each and every try scored by Hawks today was 'well earned and hard fought for'.

Try scorers: Tom Atkinson 1,( joint Man-of-the-Match ), Nathan Sharpe 1, Myles Wood 1,  (joint Man-of-the-Match), and James Proctor scoring a hat-trick! Tom Atkinson adding a conversion and Rory Wheatcroft scoring two goals of his own, giving Hawks a final score line of 30 - 12.  Top ' FIRST-IN ' tackling was seen today from Captain Ben Hawksworth, Vice Captain Myles Wood, Josh Plester, Rory Wheatcroft, Danny Smith, James Proctor, Alex Mitchell, Tom Atkinson & Kirk Atherton.

' JOINT TOP-TACKLER'S '  : Captain Ben Hawksworth & James Proctor, with Vice-Captain Myles Wood & Tom Atkinson coming very close to their mentioned team mates!

Well done to all, great effort and now showing superb determination and TEAM WORK !!

SHEFFIELD HILLSBOROUGH HAWKS U12s (0) 34 WYKE U12s (8) 8....4th December 2005

Hawks complete the double over Wyke

Conditions sunny / bright, pitch almost unplayable due to water sat in puddles. Effort of all coaches & managers with sweeping brushes making the pitch OK. Many thanks to Hawks.

Wyke able only to field 10 players, quickly got off their mark with strong runs cutting straight through an ill prepared Hawks defence. Wyke eight points on the board in 10 minutes. No response from Hawks.

Captain Ben Hawksworth & Vice-Captain Myles Wood took hold of their team mates and had a quiet whisper. The result was breathtaking. Captain Ben once again seen to be the best tackler on the field of play. Superb effort Ben, incredible tackling. Two more tries for Captain Ben today, both well deserved, both hard fought for ( 8 points ).

SPECIAL MENTION to Vice Captain Myles Wood who had a point to prove today. He needed to score two tries to please his parents & fellow team mates. Once he had the two under his belt they insisted it should be three. He didn't disappoint. Fantastic effort Myles well done on your first ever three tries ( in one game ) whilst playing for the Hawks ( 12 points ).

After the first ten minutes were out of the way the spectators were treated to some superb team play. Nathan Sharpe taking the ball at every opportunity and making great ground culminating in a well deserved and hard fought for try ( 4 points ). Nathan caught one bang on the end of his nose, almost 'blood binned', so he quickly wiped away the claret and played on. Great team spirit Nathan. Kirk Atherton again showing power and strength, running almost the full length of the pitch, missing out on scoring only due to good defence from Wyke. David's Brown & Ashby were more involved than ever before. Every opportunity to tackle, both prop forwards David & David were there. Great thinking play from David Brown in particular from opposition scrum lead, he was on them straight away as was Captain Ben and VC Myles. Great first in tackling from David Ashby. Alistair Bell, recovering from two broken front teeth only a week ago put in his all today, he knew his team needed him, he didn't disappoint. Josh Plester & Danny Smith ( on wing ) both put in their fair share of tackles again. Lovely work lads.

Tom Atkinson back in top form with lovely well timed runs and his tackling improving each and every game.

' Man-Of-The-Match ' winner today Rory Wheatcroft. ( chosen by parents not coach ). Four kick-off restarts, two bounced in play and then into touch ( Hawks retaining the ball ), two also retained by quick thinking from Hawks 'runners' ( backs ). Well devised fifth tackle kicks from Rory saw confidence build in the Hawks, they enjoyed their game today. Rory converting three, adding 6 extra's. He also kicked and ran through to score a try even though being held back by the scruff of his shirt ( 10 points ). Lovely kicking game Rory, keep up the practice.
 

TOP TACKLER TODAY : 'CAPTAIN BEN HAWKSWORTH'
SPECIAL MENTION to Vice Captain Myles Wood

TEAM EFFORT : being instrumental in seeing Hawks glory unfold to the delight of spectator, parents and officials alike. Great support from the sidelines, many thanks to all.

MELTHAM U12s 10 SHEFFIELD HILLSBOROUGH HAWKS U12s 16

Clear blue skies, muddy pitch conditions.

Sheffield Hillsborough Hawks travelled to Meltham for their game today. Conditions good and Hawks not having played a game for over five weeks meant effort & team work would be the key today. They did not disappoint. Each & every player was fighting for starting position, all eager to show they hadn't lost their touch.

Hawks were quickly into their stride, taking every opportunity presented to them. James Proctor quickly into his stride with some safe play culminating in a well deserved try. Tackling was good, determination shown by all players. Nice to see Jake Naylor & Joseph Calverley using their strength into tackles today.

James Proctor again took the ball and ran through to score two further tries, using his speed and agility to dodge a well disciplined defence. Brilliant game James, well done. Both tries ably converted by Rory Wheatcroft.

Hawks saw their Captain Ben Hawksworth again receive the accolade of 'TOP TACKLER', with Josh Plester coming a very close second. Well done Ben!

Josh Plester, playing on wing gave 100%. His tackling and all round great performance saw him win the coveted 'Man of The Match' trophy today. Lovely game Josh and some superb tackles. half time score Meltham 0 - Sheffield Hillsborough Hawks 16.

Second half saw Meltham 'get it together' with two tries, both run from their own half. one converted.

First game for five weeks, great play seen by all the team.

WYKE U12s 10  SHEFFIELD HILLSBOROUGH HAWKS U 12s 36 .....5th February 2006

Hawks travelled to Wyke for yet another return match. Dry conditions, pitch 'sand covered & drained'.

Hawks fielded 11 players against Wykes 10, agreed between both coached prior to kick off.

Respect was shown by both the home team captain Kyle and away captain Ben Hawksworth.

Many Hawks players were recovering from the dreaded lurgy still a few key players absent in starting line up. Team work won the day, along with superb passing full length of attacking line and 'stop dead tackling'. The spectators were treated to the best display of Hawks work all season. Hawks constant attacking saw no fifth tackle kicks made, almost every time Hawks took the ball, the outcome was a try.

Wyke entered the away teams half twice in the whole game,( once each half ) both culminating in Wykes man of the match 'Kyle', scoring two tries, converting one of his tries. Hawks put strings of passes together throughout the game to the delight of coaching / managing staff and spectators alike. Passing down the line works wonders as was seen today. Strong defence the key to the score line of 10 - 36. No extras were scored by team kicker today, all points down to good strong runs by all the team.

Scorers: Myles Wood 3; Kirk Atherton 1; Tom Atkinson 1; David Brown 1; Rory Wheatcroft 1; Ryan Marritt 1; Nathan Sharpe 1.

Each and every player showed true team spirit, grit & determination. It was impossible to single out any one player for the coveted 'Man of the Match' trophy today, all players receiving the award for their individual & outstanding team performance. All will receive their treat at Tuesdays training.

Great effort lads, a sheer delight to watch.

MOLDGREEN 6  SHEFFIELD HILLSBOROUGH HAWKS   32.....12 February 2006

Sheffield Hillsborough Hawks travelled for their return match against Moldgreen. Conditions were cold and damp, pitch heavy going with a steep incline from end to end of the pitch. Hawks played uphill first half leaving Moldgreen with weary legs in the second. Good decision Ben!

Moldgreen were only able to field 10 players, Hawks dropped their numbers to accommodate.

Once more a pleasure to watch the lads play their game as a team. Good team work, passing improving and moving the ball down the line at an all time best. The most fierce and strong consistent tackling was see by Captain Ben Hawksworth, closely followed by James Proctor's excellent work when tackling.

Captain Ben Hawksworth winning not only 'Top-Tackler AGAIN' but also 'Man of The Match' for his outstanding all round performance in all aspects of his game.

Hawks were determined to show their skill in all aspects of their game. Moldgreen were a vastly improved side from last Hawks played them, not up to Hawks standard it has to be said, nevertheless they gave Hawks a good game.

Team work as always the key to success seeing tries today from James Proctor 2 tries , Nathan Sharpe 2 tries, Captain Ben Hawksworth 1 try , and a superb almost full length run from winger Josh Plester to score 1 try  Team kicker Rory Wheatcroft put four conversions between the posts.  Bringing a final score line of 6 - 32 in favour of Sheffield Hillsborough Hawks.

Training / Managing staff, parents & spectators alike were again treated to a great TEAM performance. Lovely to see the lads working together and looking after the newer players to the team.

BIG WELL DONE HAWKS !!

 Moldgreen U12s (4) 4 Sheffield Hillsborough Hawks U12s (0) 6.......19th March 2006

Hawks again travelled away to play Moldgreen. Conditions overcast, pitch muddy & heavy going with a mountainous slope to contend with. Moldgreen able to field a full team with three subs. A vastly improved team albeit most players lacking skill made up for it with dirty play. Moldgreen caught Hawks on the hop early in the first half seeing them put four points on their score sheet. Hawks up'd their defensive play and got stuck in. Debut performances by two new players, Ben Mahmoud and George Thorpe. They were welcomed in fine style by their Hawks team mates and great to see seasoned players, Captain & Vice Captain sharing their expertise with the new lads. Josh Plester took ball in hand, running uphill, almost the full length of the pitch, tackled just short of Moldgreen's line. Superb run Josh! A hard game was on the cards and Hawks rose to the challenge. Hawks defended the best they have all season and forced quite some errors from their opponents.

Half time score 4 - 0.
 

Second half Hawks were playing down the steep incline and made some fantastic runs seeing Ryan Marritt score, only to have it disallowed due to the referee listening to Molgreen's coach saying Ryan ran into touch. Great effort Ryan, lovely to see that you are back on true form with some brilliant tackling today. Keep up the good work.
Hawks kept Moldgreen in their half most of the second half. Constant pressure from Hawks saw their efforts rewarded with a dummy from Rory Wheatcroft, drawing his opposite number prior to a great off-load to Josh Plester for Josh to score. Unbelievable all round team work and passing made it happen. Rory Wheatcroft converting and adding the extra 2 with his game winning kick between the posts. Ball was passed, Hawks scored a try. That is all that is required Hawks. Pass the ball safely and you will win well all the time!
Hawks two new lads rose to the challenge seeing George taking on acting dummy-half position and laying off some great passes. His tackling and all round game a pleasure to watch. Great stuff George.

Ben Mahmoud - first game ever played. You would have thought that he had been playing all his life. His game awareness, tackling, passing and splendid runs saw his efforts rewarded with the ' Man of the Match ' award.

One to watch for the future, great game Ben, especially so as it was your first ever game. George Thorpe coming a close second due to his work rate and game awareness. Lovely to see the two newest lads fitting in so well. Thanks Hawks for making them so welcome.

Each and every player gave their all today. Captain Ben Hawksworth leading from the front as always with his tackling and game play, even after his tiff with the rather dodgy referee. Ably supported by his Vice Captain Myles Wood, they kept their team mates in check when bad reffing decisions were made. Great tackling also seen from Myles. Top pair of lads. Some big / strong runs from David 'tank' Brown, sheer determination saw David make ground whenever he had the ball and his work from marker was fantastic, especially his tackling. Kirk Atherton shared the responsibility of gaining ground from first and second play the ball. Good strong determination seen from Kirk today. Alistair Bell back playing almost a full game today after a couple of months away recovering from two broken fingers, picked up last game he played. Lovely to see he was fit and stuck in wherever he had the opportunity. Joseph Calverley again improving with every game played. Once Joseph gets hold of them very rare to they slip his grasp. keep it up Joseph, great work. Danny Smith, David Ashby and Tom Atkinson did their utmost when in defence to stop and wayward attempts by Moldgreen to take the ball out to the wings to attempt to score. All did superb in their joint endeavours. Keep it up lads, great stuff. Tom, when you directed your temper into your tackles, you made 'em have it. Great to see Tom!

Good game, great defence. Pass the ball more and MOVE UP IN LINE WHEN IN DEFENCE PLEASE HAWKS.

WIBSEY U12's 36  SHEFFIELD HILLSBOROUGH HAWKS U12's 10.....26th March

Conditions blustery with deep mud underfoot.Hawks losing the toss and played down the steep incline from kick off. Registered referee threw a sickie and Hawks had the pleasure of Wibseys coach as referee! Hawks continuing their trend of away fixtures, this time at Wibsey. Last Hawks played Wibsy ( at home ), Hawks came of second best to the tune of 0 - 54. Different story this time.

Hawks started with 16 eager players all vying for start position. Took Hawks until the second half to get into their stride. Wibsey moved the ball down their line whilst running onto the ball. Hawks static in their defensive line once more seeing Wibsey's players hitting the Hawks defence line at speed and with such power that made them almost impossible to stop. James Proctor kicked a well placed kick across the field of play straight into the arms of Vice Captain Myles Wood. Myles had no problem placing the ball over the line whilst a shocked Wibsey looked on.

Second half Hawks woke up, albeit still not moving up when in defence.

James Proctor took a good catch from a Wibsey restart. James ran, dodged, evaded and sprinted uphill to the delight of his fellow players. Superb effort James. Another 4 points on the score sheet for Hawks, extra 2 coming from a good strong kick between the posts by Rory Wheatcroft. Coaching staff decided prior to kick off to attempt to catch Wibsey on the hop by allowing Rory ( team kicker ) to kick from hand on second or third tackle. Twice this ploy was used, twice Wibsey were caught of guard and fumbled their catch. Good kicking Rory. Hawks saw another debut performance from Dan West. Dan played a full game and worked hard with controlled aggression. A few more games under his belt and we will see Dan have the experience to do well in every aspect of the game. Great tackling seen from young Mr. West.

Second game for George Thorpe as acting dummy half. George came a close second to Man of The Match winner, James Proctor. George was at every play of the ball, showing great game awareness and outstanding effort. Great stuff George.

James, 'Man-of-The-Match' Proctor, winning the converted trophy for the second time this season not only for his try but the lift he gave his team mates by scoring and working hard throughout the game. Great speed and determination James. Well done.

Captain Ben Hawksworth again showing his team mates how to tackle. Once again, great Captaincy, leading from the front. Well done Ben.

Nathan Sharpe did his bit for his team, determination being Nathan's strong point, fitness showing and improving every game played. Nice one Nathan!

Ben Mahmoud again, only second game played, showed strength, agility and forward thinking at all times. Lovely to see how not only Ben M but also all the other newly signed players have fitted into the team so well. Thanks to Hawks for making them all so welcome!

Final score line of 36 - 10. Much improved Hawks side went from the filed of play with heads held high, and rightly so. Wibsey's coach confirmed that no other team had put as many points on their score sheet whilst playing against Wibsey, this season.

Great effort Hawks!!
 

FARNLEY U12s 8 SHEFFIELD HILLSBOROUGH HAWKS U12s 24....23rd April 2006
 

Hawks travelled to Farnley Nr. Leeds for an away friendly fixture. Flat pitch, no water, sun shinning!

Hawks only able to field the minimum 13 players today.

Parents, spectators and passers by were treated to an exemplary show of fair play by Hawks, even when 'hassled' by their opponents Farnley. Quick play of the ball ensured that the forwards, backed at all times by their runners, were able to make good ground due to strong runs. Credit to Farnley in defence, they tackled well and hard. Some splendid runs with ball in hand and killer tackles went in constantly from Hawks two newest signings Ben Mahmout & Dan West. Ben Mahmout taking on all before him with great controlled aggression. Ben's efforts were rewarded with a well worked try. Lovely work Ben M. Dan West, by far the quickest lad on the pitch was given the opportunity twice to score by fellow team mates and due to Dan being in perfect position to take the ball. Two tries to today's ' Man of The Match ' winner Dan West. Due to his speed very few escaped Dan's clutches. When he hit his opponents, they went down! Congratulations Dan on your first MOTM award for your team. Captain Ben Hawksworth & Vice Captain Myles Wood continued to lead from the front seeing Captain Ben instrumental in two of Hawks four tries scored today. V.C. Myles Wood, determined as always forced his way over the line in great style. Great stuff Myles & Ben.Nathan Sharpe, as always in the thick of it. Good runs, great tackling (when his head is up looking for the person he intends tackling ) and great ground made Nathan.Rory Wheatcroft comfortably converting all four tries scored. Two from centre spot in front of the posts, one from the left & one from the right. Practise is really showing rewards Rory. Well done!

Farnley, a tad shy to start came into their own second half taking advantage of Hawks normal downfall
'NOT MOVING UP IN LINE WHEN IN DEFENCE'. Farnley's runs were strong and determined, hitting a stood still line of Hawks defenders and breaking through putting 8 points on their score card.

 Great effort from Farnley, especially as it was only their second game played.

Good efforts also seen today by Kirk Atherton, Ryan Marritt, David Ashby, Dan Smith, Joseph Calverley, Josh Plester & Tom Atkinson.

Big game this coming Sunday the 30th playing Keighley at home. Focus for your game, think hard tackles, moving up when in defence lads and you will do well & win.
