The West Yorkshire Hawks have one final mission before the regular season ends—win on Saturday and secure a spot in the playoffs. The Hawks face off against Cheshire Wire in their last home game of the season, tipping off at 6:30pm at the University of Huddersfield, and the stakes couldn’t be higher.

With a 10-3 record, the Hawks sit in 3rd place, knowing that a victory will see them jump into 2nd spot and a guarantee playoff berth. Cheshire Wire, currently 7th in the division with a 2-9 record, have had a tough season, but that doesn’t mean the Hawks can afford to take their foot off the gas.

The last time these two teams met in February, the Hawks put on an impressive performance, rolling to a 115-42 victory in Warrington. That game saw Dave Walsh lead the way with 23 points, as the Hawks controlled the contest from start to finish. While that result will give the team confidence, nothing is won on paper—they’ll need to bring that same intensity on Saturday to get the job done.

Hawks Head Coach Danny Byrne understands the magnitude of the moment and is eager for his team to rise to the occasion saying “These are the type of games that players and coaches live for. A place in the playoffs is up for grabs, and you don’t need much more motivation than that. As our last home game of the season, I hope we get our biggest and noisiest crowd of the season on Saturday to will us on to the win.”

This is more than just another game—it’s a chance for the Hawks to punch their ticket to the playoffs in front of their home crowd. Expect an intense battle as the team looks to close out their home schedule on a high and build momentum heading into the postseason.
