HAROLD & CARLTON WOLVES: 6 HAWKS: 2
Hawks were slow off the mark and unfortunately Kieran, our new goalkeeper, had to pick the ball out of the net inside the first minute after a speculative shot from Wolves found its way into the goal.
Despite this setback, Kieran soon regained his confidence and made a fine save a few minutes later to keep Hawks in the match.
Wolves showed a greater hunger for the ball and continued to have most of the possession, which lead to a 2nd goal after 12 minutes following some neat passing.
Hawks managed a couple of attempts on goal during the rest of the first half, with shots from Ben and Harry R. going over the bar and Harry S. not quite managing to finish off a nice move. Kieran continued to grow in confidence, saving bravely at the feet of the Wolves’ forwards.
The 2nd half display was much better, as Hawks let the ball do the work and began to create some chances. Marley finally made the breakthrough after 8 minutes as he picked up a ball from Tyler and placed the ball in the bottom left – hand corner of the goal.
Wolves hit back with 2 more goals midway through the half, before Alfie coolly slotted the ball home after 20 minutes to make the score 4 – 2. Two further goals from Wolves late in the game made the final score 6 – 2.
This wasn’t one of the best displays we’ve seen from Hawks, particularly compared to the hard working team performances that they’ve put in over the last couple of weeks against stronger opponents. The highlight of the match was Kieran’s contribution in goal, and he fully deserved the Achievement Award he received at the end.

HAWKS: 2 NEWTON LONGVILLE: 3
Hawks did well to remain focused in difficult conditions and were unlucky to lose against high-flying Newton Longville.
The match started well with Hawks working for each other and playing a neat passing game in midfield. The defence was solid and effectively neutralised the Newton Longville attack. The first half ended with Hawks one – nil down.
In the 2nd half Harry R. came out of goal and made an immediate impact, taking the game to Newton Longville. Hawks’ efforts were rewarded after 6 minutes when Harry S. equalised. Hawks continued to cause problems for the Newton Longville defence by playing a simple passing game, but were unlucky to concede a second goal following a free kick.
Hawks fought back again, playing controlled football and creating chances. In the 29th minute Tyler got on the end of Harry R.’s free kick to head the ball into the net.
Unfortunately Newton Longville bundled the ball over the line from a corner to take the lead again in the dying seconds of the game to make the final score 2 - 3.
This game proved the importance of passing, movement and discipline, and every player should be proud of their contribution to a solid team performance.

BROMHAM YOUTH LIONS: 6 HAWKS: 1
This 2nd round cup game saw Hawks up against a strong team from Division 2. Hawks got off to a fantastic start as Marley picked up on a clearance to score from the left after only 2 minutes. However, the lead was short lived as Bromham equalized a couple of minutes later.
Hawks worked hard to break down Bromham’s play in midfield and some fine defending and goalkeeping meant that the scores remained level until the 20th minute, when Bromham finally broke through to make it 2 – 1.
Hawks came out fighting in the second half, and created several chances whilst soaking up the Bromham pressure. Bromham finally forced the ball in to make the score 3 – 1 with only 10 minutes to go.
A few minutes later Bromham had the chance to increase their lead when they were awarded a penalty, but Harry S. made a great save to keep Hawks in the game.
Hawks dug deep and continued to work hard, putting the Bromham defence under pressure. Unfortunately Bromham scored 3 more goals in the final minutes of the game to make the score 6 – 1.
Despite the defeat it was really encouraging to see everyone working hard, and each player contributed to a solid overall performance that the team can build on for the future.

MK WANDERERS HAWKS: 4 WATER EATON WHITES: 0
Hawks started brightly, creating a number of chances in the opening 5 minutes. Alfie’s distribution in midfield was excellent, and Harry R. worked hard on the left wing to put in some fine crosses. The 7th minute saw a great goal from Marley after the ball broke to him on the right and his beautifully flighted shot hit the back of the net.
Hawks’ accurate passing game allowed them to dominate possession and keep up the pressure, resulting in an own goal which doubled the score after 14 minutes. The team continued to work hard, with Ben in midfield creating chances for Tiller and Tyler who both had good attempts saved by the excellent Water Eaton goalkeeper.
Bailey, Lewis and Scott were composed in defence, covering for each other and clearing up nicely. After 20 minutes Tiller latched on to a defensive clearance to slot home the 3rd goal for Hawks. The first half ended with Hawks continuing to pressurise the Water Eaton goal.
In the 2nd half Alfie showed great team spirit by volunteering to go in goal to give Kyrese a run out on pitch. Hawks had a scare early in the 2nd half as Water Eaton hit the bar from a free kick, but they soon got back into their rhythm. Bailey probed further forward to make some strong drives out of defence, and shots by Harry R. and Tiller brought further good saves from the Water Eaton keeper. Kyrese was in the thick of the action up front and was unlucky not to score. Midway through the half Tiller scored his 2nd goal as he tapped in a precision pass from Kyrese. Despite creating many more chances, the score remained 4 – nil.
A good performance, with everyone working hard.

MK WANDERERS HAWKS 4 VS ST MONICAS 0
CUP GAME
In blustery conditions Hawks struggled to get going in their first round cup game vs St Monicas. Despite some fine crosses from Harry R on the left wing, Hawks were unable to find the net with shots from Marley and Harry T. Scott and Bailey helped to maintain the pressure on St Monicas with some fine defending and passes out to the midfield. However, it was Ben who finally found the back of the net with a deflected shot. Kyrese had to make a couple of great saves to keep Hawks ahead. Hawks then settled and had many more chances on goal with crosses from Tyler and Harry S. It was Harry R who made it 2-0 just before half time with a fantastic top corner goal.
Lewis and Bailey kept Hawks in the lead with some superb marking in defence. Hawks continued to have much of the attacking play with Ben executing some great corners. Alfie was unlucky not to score following a solo run and Harry T had a shot saved by the keeper. Hawks made the ball do the work in the 2nd half and Marley’s pressure on the keeper paid off to make it 3-0. Harry Smith skilfully beat a number of players on the run but again was unlucky not to find the net. Marley made it 4-0 finishing off a great corner from Harry R.
Another good team performance by Hawks.

Wanderers Hawks 2 vs Southside2
A gripping encounter for Hawks’ first league game of the season which saw Tyler score within the first 5 minutes. Wanderers worked hard to maintain the lead with Scott and Bailey linking well to defend Southside’s breaks. Kyrese was kept busy in goal and pulled off some fantastic saves.
Despite a fine display of passing football between Tyler and Marley, Marley was unlucky to put the ball over the bar. Harry R found space on the left wing and consistently played some good crosses. Southside unfortunately equalised from a corner half way through the first half.
Ben and Alfie continued to win the ball in midfield and Harry T was unlucky not to finish off a solo run. Good defending and another excellent save from Kyrese allowed Hawks to regain possession and Harry R to score a well deserved goal to make it 2-1.
However, Hawks were caught on the break jut before half time and Southside made it all square at 2-2.
Hawks had much of the play in the second half but were unlucky not to find the net particularly with excellent shots from Harry R, Tyler and Ben.
Although the score remained 2-2 at the final whistle, overall it was a good team performance against well organised and physical opponents.
