Football Report
Hawks and Whitecaps played a keenly contested friendly this morning. The first 20 minutes were not of the highest quality – the game disrupted by the strong cross wind. However Hawks were acquitting themselves well – the defenders kept the Whites attack at bay while they also looked dangerous on the break. Indeed, that was their route to the opening goal – a fine counter-attack finished in style. At this stage, the lead was well-deserved.
Whitecaps were stung by this and responded quickly with the equaliser. As the game wore on, though, Whites took more of a grip and wore down the Hawks defenders – with a number of good finishes leading to a slightly flattering scoreline. Therefore it was only justice when Hawks grabbed a 2nd late on with a superb long range free-kick into the top corner.
Ultimately, a very entertaining game and with some very good individual performances on both sides.
