HAWKS CHALLENGE STAR DRAGON
👏👏👏 WHAT A GAME!? 👏👏👏

Wowzers, what a tough battle last night's match was against Star Dragon!!

Under Assistant Coach Ernie's watchful guidance, our boys managed to remain focussed against a well skilled team, keeping Star Dragon from scoring with our impenetrable defence and causing significant frustration I'm sure.

The boys remained composed throughout and while there was no win recorded for our Round 5 match, our Hawks didn't lose either and should hold heir heads high - understanding this was going to be a tough match and they certainly rose to the challenge.
Well done boys!

The boys managed to keep Star Dragon's score low throughout the match and, with 3 quick baskets in the 2nd half, brought them back into the game. A late 2 pointer in the final seconds evened the match when the final buzzer sounded - a 12-all draw.

Great result boys - good job!
We'll get'em next time!
GO HAWKS! 🏀

HAWKS OUTPLAY SYDNEY BLAZERS

An incredible performance by our Hawks, playing with a lean 5-player team, managing to outplay Sydney Blazers with an impressive 25-13 WIN - well done boys! 👏👏👏

Assistant coach Ernie was super impressed with the boys' effort - playing a clean and disciplined game with minimal handovers, solid defence, outstanding ball movement and team confidence winning the match - we're so, so proud!

Each player doing an amazing job, working together to control the game with minimal fouls, holding defensive positions, ball steals, accurate passing, driving forward, making shots, taking rebounds and defending the paint - all key elements of winning games.

Huge thanks to Ernie for coaching the boys through this match - the boys responding to your instruction and guidance - the final score our reward.

Well done Hawks - an awesome job!! 👏👏👏

WOW, WOW, WOW!!
🥳 We Did It!! 🏀🏆👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
2023 U15 Boys Premiers!!

What a nail biting, nerve wracking, edge of your seat match! 🫣🤩
So, so proud of our HAWKS, managing to defeat the season leaders with a team of 5 (no subs due to injury, etc.), against an army of worthy opponents and take out the Premiership - a 22-19 WIN against the Hurricanes.
Well done boys - Woohooo!! 👏🏼👏🏼

We’ll enjoy a season end, big-day-out when the boys are all together, to celebrate their amazing achievement. 😍

Special thanks to Jeremy and Kwaku for your time and effort to coach, mentor and develop the boys to a level where they’re worthy competitors and deserving of this Premiership Win! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
They’re learning so much and the growth has been phenomenal. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Thanks to Yannick at Shred Fitness for Strength & Conditioning - this training definitely contributed towards our win - the boys gained confidence, strength and endurance to dig deep and get the job done! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Thanks to our amazing Parents for getting our boys to training each week. It wasn’t easy, with inconsistent training days/times, trying to juggle court and coach availability however, all the hard work paid off and I’m grateful of your support throughout the season.

Last and certainly not least, our Boys!! 🤩
Our Season Premiers!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
What can I say, but how extremely proud I am of you all! 🥰 You trained hard each week to reach this moment! You dug deep and pulled together when it mattered most, taking the semi final in a convincing win, then stepping up another level to take the ultimate prize - Grand Final! 🤩

Give yourselves a huge pat on the back - a Goliath effort and we’re all so very, very proud of you all. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🏆🥳

GO HAWKS!! 🏀🏆🏀🏆🏀🏆
