Hawks 1 v Jaguars

Sunday morning saw Sue Henderson and Stef Lewie returning to the court, after recovering from injury over the last few weeks. They were essential players in allowing the team to beat Jags 1 with a nail biting score of 29-30.

Sue started the match at goal keeper where she thoroughly pressurised the shooter. Play was flowing well from defence to attack and Hawks were leading 9-8 after the first quarter. Hawks increased their lead (16-13) at half time, thanks to consistent centre court play by Sara Higgins . Jags had picked up their game in the third quarter to lead by one (19-20).

Hawks 1 v Cottenham

Hawks had a hesitant start due to some player positional changes and throughout the match consistently worked to improve play reducing the gap to 2 goals and winning the final quarter 14 – 9. Kate Foster-Collier took up the WA role for the first time this season and once she had settled into the match she timed her moves well to work with Sara Higgins at C and fed some excellent balls into the shooting circle. Sue Henderson returning from injury played an out standing game at GK despite the fact the Cottenham GS positioned well and was shooting very accurately. Viv Willox and Stef Lewey shared the GA position today both shooting very well. Hawks first team demonstrated great depth in their playing ability and the match highlighted some areas of play we need to develop to ensure we beat teams like this in the future.

Hawks 3 v Falcons

Hawks 3 maintained their winning record this Sunday when they met Falcons for their home game which was played outside at Hinchingbrooke school grounds. Unfortunately Falcons were one team member short,and this, combined with the heavy rain made conditions difficult. The game was contested well from the beginning but Hawks eased into their play and lead by 6 goals at the end of the first quarter. With the second quarter being fairly equal Hawks made a few changes at half time and, with some wonderful interceptions from Laura Pearson and Lesley Newman, saw them increase their lead again in the 3rd quarter Hawks 34 Falcons 22.

Hawks 3 played against Haddenham 2 on a sunny winter afternoon on December 4 th at Haddenham. This was their last match before Christmas and completed the first half of the season. The two teams were at the top of division 3, with all to play for. Unfortunately, it was not possible to play all the usual 3rd team members but we were grateful to Jess for joining us as Goal Attack and Emily who played Goal Defence for the second half.

Haddenham and Hawks started by matching each other for the first three goals from each side but then Haddenham pulled ahead and finished the first quarter in the lead by 10 goals to 5. Hawks defence worked extremely hard, putting their training in to practice, and did well keeping possession of the ball but found it hard to respond to Haddenham's tactics of blocking out the Hawk's goal attack with their centre court players and double marking the goal shooter. For the second and third quarters Hawks had difficulty getting the ball into the circle and had inconsistent shooting from the goal shooter whilst Haddenham looked confident and shot with accuracy to extend their lead and take the score to 21-11 at half time and 33-15 after the third quarter.

However, Hawks did not give up and with strong team spirit and a re-think about tactics for the final quarter Hawks were able to create more openings in their attack and with Jess shooting consistently well scored 11 goals to Haddenham's 9, giving a final score-line of Haddenham 42 – Hawks 26.

Changes were made at half time and with focus and fighting spirit, especially from Emily Drinkwater and Holly Carter in defence, they increased their lead in both the third and final quarter to ensure another Hawks 3 win. Final score- Hawks 26 vs. Over 18.

Hawks 3 v Chesterton

Hawks fielded 10 players, which i'm sure was a bit of a novelty.
Started well with the attack and defence finding their rhythm more towards the 2nd quarter, as the score reflected. The ball flowed well down the court in both the 1st and 2nd halves with a fresh pair of legs as 'C' at half time.
Laura Pearson and Heidi Bartlet's shooting and positional play stood out despite the tough defence. The 4th quarter was a close battle but Hawks held their ground and were victorious.
A very tense game as was expected, Hawks played their own game even when things became very difficult to secure the win.

Hawks 3 v Soham 2

Hawks 3 maintained their winning record when they met Soham 2 this weekend.

Changes were made at half time and whilst Hawks, on occasions, lost their focus they continued to gradually increase their lead, through some excellent shooting by Casey Scott, to ensure a commanding win.

Final score Hawks 3- 44 Soham -31.

They started explosively taking an 11:3 lead in the first quarter and with some short, sharp, confident passing, they managed to extend their lead to 22:5 after the second quarter. A change of players at half-time broke the pattern with fewer goals being scored in the second half but good positioning for the ball by the Hawks side and continued strong passing made for an open, fluid game. Despite some great play by the Stretham side, a Hawks win was never seriously in doubt.

Final score: Hawks 3 - 35, Stretham 2 - 19.

Hawks 3 began their game against Falcons this weekend with confidence and vigor but Falcons soon found their feet and took the first quarter 14 : 7.

A player change at half time invigorated the Hawks side prompting them to show some inspired netball and lessen the goal difference. Hawks continued with some lovely, strong play in the final quarter in which they drew level, and managed to take the lead, but Falcons fought back with determination to end the game four goals ahead.

Final score: Falcons, 39 : Hawks 3, 35.

HAWKS 1 v JAGS

Hawks 1 took on Jags in a breathtaking match. But it was a controversial ending as the game stopped after 46 minutes - Who will be the victor?

Jags took an early lead and at quarter time lead 8-4 Hawks were given some well needed motivating words by their Head Coach Helen Stepney and returned to the court a sharper team, winning the 2nd Quarter with some fantastic centre court play by the agile Sara Higgins and Superb Andrea Linnel. It was in the 3rd quarter that Hawks showed themselves the fitter and stronger side by winning the 3rd quarter. During this quarter several of the Jags players fell down perhaps from fatigue or from marking the opposition too closely. Tension was high as the score was now 18-17 in Jags favour. Hawks needed just one interception to level the field. Within a minute of the final quarter Theresa Dickinson delivered just that, an incredible interception. Unfortunately shortly after that yet another Jags player fell down injuring her ankle, so play was halted until she was assisted off court. It was at this crucial moment of the game with Hawks in possession of The ball, with the score at 18-17 that Jags decided to abandon the game; They said it was due to an unsafe court.

Several questions were asked: How could the indoor court suddenly become unsafe after 46 minutes? How could the unsafe court only affect Jags? How could this court be unsafe when it is used regularly for county training?

Hawks refused to have the game abandoned and remained on court as Officials tried to come to a solution. Hawks desperately wanted to continue play But Jags refused to put on their substitute and continue.

So this very controversial of matters has been put to the premier Committee who will decide one of the following:

1. That Jags conceded the game by refusing to continue, therefore Hawks win
2. That the last 14 minutes of the game will be played at another time
3. That the entire game will be played at another time or
4. That the game will be considered abandoned and therefore the score will stay 18-17 with Jags the winners.

All players will wait with baited breath until the decision is made. We will keep you posted.

Hawks 3 came up against the youthful Soham 2 team on Saturday. Although on a winning roll, the Hawks team came to the match minus four of their regular team, so the pressure was on to establish them from the first whistle. The first 10 minutes saw Hawks in panic mode, but they settled down and gradually built up a strong lead in the first two quarters of the match. The youthful Soham team kept fighting with both teams scoring the same amount of goals in the third quarter. However, Hawks remained focused with some good defensive play from Sian Randall, who was playing up from Hawks 4, and player of the match Amy Willox. With a final score of 32-19 Hawks 3 continue with their winning roll.

Hawks 4 played Soham 2 on Saturday afternoon. Soham 2 started very well and had Hawks fighting to get the ball. Unfortunately Soham’s WD had a bad fall in the 1st quarter but they switched players and continued their strong attack. In the 2nd half of the match Hawks decided to knuckle down and tried to stop Soham from scoring, Hawks defence played to the best of their abilities but were unable to stop Soham.

The final score was Soham (2) 22 : Hawks (4) 6

Saturday morning was the return match for Hawks 4 against the division leaders Ely. In the 1st quarter Ely took a strong lead and only allowed hawks to score one goal. In the 2nd quarter Hawks settled down and became more confident and gradually began to apply some pressure to Ely. In the 3rd quarter Hawks changed their players around, this seemed to slow Ely down and made them work harder for the ball. Hawk’s defence Sian Randell and player of the match Kim Turner fought hard against Ely’s attack but unfortunately we’re unable to stop the formidable goal shooters.

The final score, which didn’t reflect Hawks’ effort, was Hawks 9 Ely 30
