Some good news, 3 of our colts went up to Ambleside for County Trails for the Cumbria U18 squad and all three got selected. We would have had others there but unfortunately night school and work dictated they couldn’t make it.

Well done boys, all at Hawcoat Park are very proud of you.

Kendal U19 Colts v Hawcoat Park U19 Colts

Hawcoat Park travelled to Kendal at the weekend to face one of the area top teams, who operate in the top tier of Colts rugby in the North West, so a hard fought game was expected.

Hawcoat got the proceedings under way with Matthew France kicking to the opposition. Some great work in the loose from Jacob McParland and Cameron McClure saw Hawcoat keep Kendal at bay. Kendal were making the most of possession and it wasn’t long before Kendal crossed the white wash for an unconverted try.

From the resulting restart Hawcoat went straight on the offensive putting the home team under tremendous pressure with superb tackling from Richard Steele and Danny Rodden. Charlie Martin was coming into the game more and more with some great work out wide. It was from this point that a superb run from captain Andy Graham took the visitors into Kendal’s twenty two. Lewis Sayle got to the breakdown to pop pass out to Brad Bayliss for the big second rower to crash over the line for a great try converted by Graham.

This seemed to break Kendal’s resolution and it wasn’t long before Tom Brannon had his hands on the ball driving Hawcoat up the pitch. A great rip from the maul saw Josh Vial scoot down the blind side beating three tacklers to score Hawcoat’s second try of the game.

Will Mallinson was in inspiring form winning ball after ball in the loose amply backed up by Patrick Sarmiento when Jon Doherty took control of the ball to once again score a try which was converted again by Graham taking the score to 17-5 with 10 minutes of the half still to play. By this time Kendal looked like they were chasing shadows as the back line pushed on by Sayle and France kept Hawcoat on the front foot. A great move from a ruck on the right touchline saw the ball go right along the attacking line for Doherty to pop the ball out the back door for Ethan Davis to score a superb try bringing the half time whistle and a score line of 5-24 to Hawcoat Park.

The second half kicked off with Kendal making some influential changes with senior squad members coming into play. Robert Harvey and Jake Vial were trying their upper most to keep Kendal at bay with some good work but Kendal managed to squeeze over out wide for an unconverted try. Hawcoat were under the cosh second half and but from some superb tackling from Jordan Miles would of surely had another try. Once again the Hawcoat pack took control driving the Kendal pack back time and again and would have scored a couple of times but with tiredness creeping in the final pass never can to hand.

Kendal scored a late consolation try before the referee called time with Hawcoat coming away with a great victory 17-24.

Hawcoat Park coaches Mike Graham and Jason Meadows were delighted ‘After winning the league last year and having to break the team up into two different squads, you never know how things will come together but the boys really played well today. The lads from Furness RUFC that have come into the Hawcoat Colts squad have really added some meat to the bones in what promises to be a hard season a head. The guys have really jelled well and all looks positive for the year ahead’. Hawcoat were presented with the SBS shield which will be played for between the clubs in the future and will include Dumfries and Galashiels.

Hawcoat Park now have U17 Junior Colts and U19 Senior Colts playing this coming season and they are looking for players to come along and join in what is going to be a great season ahead. If you have never played rugby, haven’t played rugby for while or if you play rugby league and would like to come and give rugby union a go, you can either turn up at Hawcoat Park Sport Club on Monday and Wednesday evenings 6:15pm until 8pm or call Jason Meadows on 01229 811856 for further information.
