Harlow Hawks

Going into the fourth game of the challenging 2016 season, Hawks were looking to bring home their first win. Russ Allen, Lee Morris, Jack Hawkins, Rimantus “Rimus” Norkliunas and Shab Niaz were on the floor to start off the game. Hawks managed to gain their first set of first quarter points after North Herts Knights had scored their 7th. With Hawks only scoring 7 points for the whole quarter, North Herts Knights started off strong scoring 23 points and creating a 16 point lead.
With the second quarter underway, Hawks had only managed to score a further 6 points with Lee Morris scoring an impressive 3 pointer. Unfortunately, Dan Cohen’s game was cut short in the second quarter due to an unexpected flying elbow into the cheek.
Getting into the third quarter, Hawks were under pressure to close the 24 point lead the Knights had created. Rimus, Harry, Shab, Lee and Russ were able to lower the deficit, scoring 21 points between them, which was by far the most productive quarter of the game.
Unfortunately regardless of their productive attempts, Hawks were still unable to take an advantage after the end of the third quarter, with North Herts maintaining the lead by 15 points.
Getting in to the fourth and final quarter, Hawks were able to score a further 9 points, and North Herts Knights taking the victory with a 38 point lead.
