Hawks Take on Sharks at the Nest
The stage is set for a huge Yorkshire derby as the West Yorkshire Hawks welcome Sheffield Sharks to The Hawks Nest at the University of Huddersfield this Saturday at 6:30 pm. With both teams coming off emphatic victories, this clash has major implications in the race for the top spots in the division.
The Hawks enter the game full of confidence after a ruthless 115-42 road win over Cheshire Wire, extending their impressive run of form. Meanwhile, the Sharks also flexed their muscles last weekend with a dominant 53-point win over Manchester Kings, setting up a showdown between two of the division’s top sides.
When these teams last met just before Christmas in Sheffield, it was a tight contest for three quarters before the Hawks pulled away late to secure a hard-fought 19-point win. Head coach Danny Byrne knows his team will need to be at their best again to repeat that success, saying, “They are one of the best teams in our division. They have some very good players who have high-level experience. We have to bring our A-game for all four quarters on Saturday.”
With two of the league’s top teams going head-to-head, The Hawks Nest is set to be rocking once again on Saturday. Fans are encouraged to secure their seats early, and they can get 25% off all tickets by using discount code HAWKS25 at https://tktp.as/EVKAPV
