Hawks Men Stay in Playoff Hunt

The Neon and Navy took a big step in the race for the postseason with a commanding 88–53 victory over Sheffield College in their penultimate game of the regular season.

With a playoff place on the line for the second consecutive year, this was a night where the result mattered most and the Hawks delivered when it counted.

The game didn’t begin in typical Hawks fashion. The intensity and assertiveness that usually define their style weren’t quite there in the opening exchanges, allowing Sheffield to dictate the tempo more than the coaching staff would have liked. But even without hitting top gear, the Hawks’ quality began to show. Defensive stops turned into transition opportunities, and smart execution down the stretch of the half helped the hosts build a nine-point cushion heading into the break.

That halftime reset proved crucial.

The Hawks emerged with renewed focus and a clear shift in intensity on both ends of the floor. Defensive pressure tightened, rebounding improved, and ball movement in offence began to stretch Sheffield’s defence. As the tempo lifted, so did the control. The Hawks restricted Sheffield’s scoring opportunities while opening up their own offensive rhythm, steadily pulling away to secure a dominant 35-point win.

Head Coach Danny Byrne reflected honestly on the performance after the final buzzer saying “It wasn’t a vintage performance by us but that is the sign of a good team, getting wins when you aren’t playing your best. I like how the guys reacted in the second half and I am looking forward to finishing off the regular season in front of our own fans next Saturday.”

The result keeps the Hawks firmly in the hunt for a playoff spot, with everything still to play for. A win next Saturday in their final home game of the regular season against the Nottingham Hoods could be enough to seal their place in the postseason.

Now it all comes down to one more night at the Hawks Nest.
