Tuesday night football under the lights at English Park – it’s a shame we couldn’t play this one at The Nest after such a memorable weekend fixture for the club. Saturday’s top-of-the-table clash, which finished 3–0, had so many positives, but the highlight was without doubt having our Juniors, Youth, Seniors, and Masters Hawks all there supporting. That atmosphere was truly special and noticeable!
There were some big individual moments, too:
Conor Clarke, our returning striker, is back on the scoresheet.
Jacob O’Connell, scoring in classic style on his 50th First Team cap – all before turning 21, having come through the club from a Junior Hawk. A fantastic example for our younger players to look up to!
And of course, Niraj Basnet, who opened the scoring from a corner. Unfortunately, he may now be facing surgery on his cheekbone after that very goal. Niraj has been immense for us in this promotion push – two goals, countless physical battles, and a fearless spirit.
This Tuesday, we’ll need your support once again. I’ll be away with the Secondary School Football Tournament Week, but I’m proud to hand the reins over to Nathan Young (Head Coach for the night) and Assistant Coach Kevin Peters. As a coaching group, we are incredibly tight, and I’m excited to see what they bring to spice things up tomorrow.
Bring it on – and remember, after this we have just one league match to go: Western AFC at home on Friday 6th September. That game could decide the league title and whether our journey continues into the Southern League play-offs against FC Nelson!
