The U10s travelled away to Guiseley and after winning the toss they played up hill for the first half of the match.

Both teams were working really hard now and we saw some excellent ball passing skills from Tom Spencer and Luke Brown. Hawks were tiring due to extra time that was played due to injuries, 25 minutes instead of 15 minutes! Half time score 0-
The Hawks were now eager to gain some points and worked as a team but they just couldn’t break through Guiseley’s defence.

The Hawks worked really well as a team and gave a 100% performance but just couldn’t manage to get a try.

Sheffield Hillsborough Hawks ARLFC -
What an excellent game to watch. The team played with enthusiasm, scored the first try, which was a first, and never stopped running. They team were excellent and the excitement on the final whistle was a joy to see. A really good game and Nathan Brown scored the winning try. This team is making good progress and will be doing well by the end of the season. More commitment in the tackles and they will be a force to reckon with. Hawks, number 6 is going to make a great half-back in the future. Watch out Rob Burrow. - Ed

Townville Tigers U10’s (4)16 Sheffield Hillsborough Hawks U10’s (24)32
(Match Report -
On what was a cold wet and miserable day the Hawks provided the sun by an excellent team performance.
The first half got off to a good start when Joe Ashworth scored for the Hawks within a few minutes. This was made possible by the strong drives Joe Duckworth, Ben Posthlewaite and Jake Griffin and the grubber kick that Paddy Burns provided. Burns converting the kick.
It wasn’t long before the Hawks were in possession again. Will Griffiths and Bradley Davy drove the ball hard into the opposition. Paddy Burns seized the opportunity to run the ball three quarters of the pitch to score. Nathan Brown provided the support Burns may have needed.
At the restart the Hawks’ fierce defence lead to Townville losing the ball. Again Davy drove the ball up field followed by another strong run by Griffin. The team work between Ashworth and Burns led to Burns scoring his second try. Ashworth quickly added another two points to the score board as he kick the conversion.
The Hawks relaxed a little, the opposition grabbed the chance and scored.
When play resumed Davy and Griffin ran hard and made ground. Postlewaite lined up next and as he ran he dragged a number of the Townville players with him. Unfortunately as the ball was played and due to the wet conditions the ball was fumbled and it was a turn over to the opposition. Hawks allowed Townville back into the game and they were soon defending on their line. Griffiths and Duckworth were in no mood to let a try in and forced Townville into spilling the ball. Griffin scooped up the ball with ease and as he ran was brought down by the opposition. Max Braithwaite powered up field was tackled by several Townville players.
At the next play of the ball Hawks lost possession. Unfortunately for Townville the Hawks cracked their attack with strong tackling preventing them from completing their set of six.
Once in possession the big guns in the form of Postlewaite, Davy and Griffin pushed the ball up the field which provided Ashworth with a good field position to kick across to the right hand corner. Davy reading the direction of the kick was able to touch down to score.
Hawks men George Johnson and Ashworth piled the pressure on as Townville restarted the game. This proved too much for the opposition and soon they lost the ball. The forwards drove the ball up field once more. Tom Spencer safely delivered the ball into Ashworth hands who stepped the opposition several times to score the final try of the first half. The Score at half time was Townville 4 : Hawks 24.
The bitter wind continued to blow across the open field and the Hawks were starting to show signs of turning into icicles. This was reflected when Townville quickly ran in their second try within moments of starting the second half. As Hawks restarted the game they soon came under attack from the fired up Townville defence. Both N. Brown and Burns were soon escorted from the pitch through injury.
Hawks were soon defending again but with much more conviction than at the start of the second half. Townville were forced into making a forward pass as the Hawks’ player Luke Brown turned the screw on their attack. The weather started to cause more problems for both sides as the ball became slippery and fingers began to freeze. The Hawks again lost possession but the opposition failed to make use of this as George Johnson forced Townville into handling errors. Johnson was able to scoop up the ball and drive into opposition territory. After another pass from play of the ball by Spencer, Burns was able to start the Hawks score for the second half.
Townville replied almost immediately as Hawks’ defence failed. The Hawks came out attacking strongly, looping and causing Townville confusion. As Griffiths drove over the line the opposition gave a penalty away due to a high tackle. Burns saw the opportunity to muscle his way through the Townville defence to score the final Hawks try.
Townville came back strong and ran the ball dangerously close to the Hawks line. Although the Hawks valiantly defended Townville found a chink of light in their line scoring the final try of the match. Final score Townville 16 : Hawks 32.

When play resumed Davy and Griffin ran hard and made ground. Postlewaite lined up next and as he ran he dragged a number of the Townville players with him. Unfortunately as the ball was played and due to the wet conditions the ball was fumbled and it was a turn over to the opposition. Hawks allowed Townville back into the game and they were soon defending on their line. Griffiths and Duckworth were in no mood to let a try in and forced Townville into spilling the ball. Griffin scooped up the ball with ease and as he ran was brought down by the opposition. Max Braithwaite powered up field was tackled by several Townville players.
At the next play of the ball Hawks lost possession. Unfortunately for Townville the Hawks cracked their attack with strong tackling preventing them from completing their set of six.
Once in possession the big guns in the form of Postlewaite, Davy and Griffin pushed the ball up the field which provided Ashworth with a good field position to kick across to the right hand corner. Davy reading the direction of the kick was able to touch down to score.
Hawks men George Johnson and Ashworth piled the pressure on as Townville restarted the game. This proved too much for the opposition and soon they lost the ball. The forwards drove the ball up field once more. Tom Spencer safely delivered the ball into Ashworth hands who stepped the opposition several times to score the final try of the first half. The Score at half time was Townville 4 : Hawks 24.
The bitter wind continued to blow across the open field and the Hawks were starting to show signs of turning into icicles. This was reflected when Townville quickly ran in their second try within moments of starting the second half. As Hawks restarted the game they soon came under attack from the fired up Townville defence. Both N. Brown and Burns were soon escorted from the pitch through injury.
Hawks were soon defending again but with much more conviction than at the start of the second half. Townville were forced into making a forward pass as the Hawks’ player Luke Brown turned the screw on their attack. The weather started to cause more problems for both sides as the ball became slippery and fingers began to freeze. The Hawks again lost possession but the opposition failed to make use of this as George Johnson forced Townville into handling errors. Johnson was able to scoop up the ball and drive into opposition territory. After another pass from play of the ball by Spencer, Burns was able to start the Hawks score for the second half.
Townville replied almost immediately as Hawks’ defence failed. The Hawks came out attacking strongly, looping and causing Townville confusion. As Griffiths drove over the line the opposition gave a penalty away due to a high tackle. Burns saw the opportunity to muscle his way through the Townville defence to score the final Hawks try.
Townville came back strong and ran the ball dangerously close to the Hawks line. Although the Hawks valiantly defended Townville found a chink of light in their line scoring the final try of the match. Final score Townville 16 : Hawks 32.

After having a few weeks off, too many goodies from the selection boxes and missing a valuable key player (captain Patrick Burns) Hawks U10s starting off slow on this sunny but cold day. After only 5 minutes and a few mistakes from the Hawks, Wyke scored their first try of the game. Hawks started to pick up pace and we saw some good tackling from Joe Duckworth, Joe Ashworth, Martin Brooks, Nathan Brown, Tom Spencer and Bradley Davy. The ball was back in the Hawks possession and they were determined to gain good ground with strong runs from Jake Griffin, Will Griffiths, George Johnson, Ben Postlethwaite and Max Braithwaite. With excellent passing skills from Luke Brown into the hands of Griffiths broke through Wyke's defence and he scored a well deserved try, converted by Ashworth.

The Hawks played away to Keighley on a very wet muddy pitch and were having trouble standing up on it never mind trying to play a rugby match! Within minutes Keighley had scored their first try and successfully converted. Hawks were not giving up and we saw some excellent tackles from Max Braitwaite, Will Griffiths, Bradley Davy, Jake Griffin and Joe Ashworth. Hawks tried really hard in their attack but they just couldn’t make it to the try line. 16-
The pitch condition was getting worse and it was getting difficult to tell the players apart because they were covered in so much mud, one of Keighley’s players got their foot stuck in the mud and it took 2 adults to pull it out! Hawks positive attitude and the determination from George Johnson to break through Keithley’s defence paid off and he scored Hawks an excellent first try of the game, converted by Ashworth. It was becoming difficult to stop the attack from Keighley they were just slipping out of the Hawks player’s hands and they scored another try. We saw some good strong runs from Ben Postlethwaite, Joe Duckworth, Nathan Brown and with excellent passing skills from Martin Brooks and Luke Brown Davy went on to score a try, converted by Griffin. 32-
All players played with 100% determination and effort but due to the very poor playing conditions they couldn’t get the points they deserved. Well done Hawks for not giving up and holding your heads high.
This match should have been cancelled due to the very bad condition of the pitch and there was no hot water available for the players who were covered head to toe in thick wet mud!

The Hawks started well with strong attacking runs from Will Griffiths, Joe Duckworth, Jake Griffin and Bradley Davy. The ball was back with Guiseley and Hawks worked well as a team to build a strong wall of defense to keep them a way from the try line with excellent tackles from Tom Spencer, George Johnson and Joe Ashworth finishing it off taking Guiseley in touch.

Half time score 4-
Hawks were eager to gain some more points and with excellent passing skills from George Johnson, Max Braithwaite and Luke Brown valuable ground was made towards the try line. The ball was back with Davy who charged his way through Guiseley’s defense passing the ball to Ashworth who scored his first try of the match, converted by N. Brown. Hawks defense was strong, Guiseley kicked on the 5th tackle straight into the hands of Spencer who caught the ball with ease.

This took the Hawks in the lead but with only 10 players and no substitutes it was hard work for the Hawks attacking up hill, they were tiring and defending the attack from Guiseley was getting harder.
