alties and the increasing defensive workload eventually told with Upton taking two penalties and a goal to take the score to 17-12. Upton held on to the end and Hawks, battered and bruised, had to settle for the loss. It’s a mark of how far the side have come this season that they were so close to victory despite spending so much time
on the back foot against a bigger and older side. This was a close fought blood and thunder wrestling match throughout, and the spirit and willingness of the team to fight for every marginal gain was there for all their passionate support to see.
