This weekend marks Round 10 of the Premier League, and it sees us face off once again against our Round 1 opponents, Universities Reserves. That opening clash was full of first-game nerves and early-season energy, but now, both teams have settled into the rhythm of the league.
Universities have had a mixed run of results, but they’re proving to be a competitive outfit. Just last week, they drew with 4th-placed Cash Tech—a side we also shared the points with earlier in the season. So, if that’s anything to go by, we know we’ll need to be switched on and prepared, especially with the Southern League on pause for Chapman Cup week.
On Our Squad.
We’ve just come off our first Premiership loss, entering what we’ve called the ‘stormy’ part of the season. But rather than fold, the boys have rallied. Taking on tough opposition, navigating a mid-week cup fixture, and getting through three games in seven days is no small feat, especially for an amateur side.
Coming back from 2-0 down to level it 2-2 and push for the win, only to fall just short, was a tough lesson, but it also proved that we can go toe-to-toe with anyone, no matter the conditions or the circumstances.
Looking Ahead.
We’re currently awaiting final confirmation on our ground status due to the heavy rain this week. It’s looking likely that junior and youth football will be off, which means all eyes will be on us this Saturday. Your support means the world, and in moments like this, it truly lifts the lads.
So, Hawks fans — we’re calling on you. Rain, hail or shine, come down and back your team.
Let’s go get it. Com’on you Hawks!
