Hawks Blow Past Wire

The West Yorkshire Hawks delivered a statement performance in Warrington, overpowering Cheshire Wire 115-42 to secure their seventh straight win. From the opening tip, the Hawks imposed their will on both ends of the floor, producing their most dominant display of the season.

 

A blistering start saw the Hawks take full control, with Dave Walsh catching fire from beyond the arc, draining four triples in the first quarter. Their relentless pace and defensive intensity left Wire struggling to keep up, and by the end of the period, the Hawks had already built a 27-point lead.

 

Cheshire Wire attempted to tighten up defensively in the second quarter, but the Hawks remained in rhythm, stretching the advantage to 54-22 at halftime. The challenge after the break was to maintain intensity, and the Hawks rose to the occasion, outscoring Wire by 27 in the third quarter as they continued to dominate every aspect of the game. The final period was all about closing things out, with the Hawks securing a season-high 73-point margin of victory. In a true team effort, all 12 players made it onto the scoresheet for the first time this season.

 

Dave Walsh led the way with 23 points, followed by Chris Jackman and Charles Andrews with 16 each, while Rob Donaldson added 15 and Joshua Griffith chipped in 14. It was a performance that reflected the Hawks’ growing chemistry and depth as they push towards the business end of the season.

 

Head coach Danny Byrne was full of praise for his squad, saying, “That was the full team performance that we have been looking for all season. Everyone stepped up and contributed today, and that shows in the scoreline. I hope the guys re-energise from this performance and now fully lock in for the race to the end of the season.”
