Hawks U15s win Hyndburn Indoor Competition
Yesterday our Hawks U15s started the 2018 season with a bang, winning the Hyndburn Indoor Cricket Tournament.
In the first game, Paul Houldsworth’s side faced Rishton CC, scoring 252 and restricting them to 225, before going on to beat Church CC by a score of 247 – 236
Our Junior Coordinator Mick Deasey said ‘In all, we scored 99 runs for the loss of just one wicket this afternoon and won convincingly against both Church and Rishton. Top performances all round from the lads, proper cricket shots and only one “yahoo” that cost the one and only wicket.’
Our six a side team comprised Seb Whalley, Ethan Houldsworth, Rayhaan Hussain, Alex Kennedy, Thomas Newton and Haris Iqbal. The victory is made all the more impressive given five of these six players will be eligible to play at U15 level in 2019.
Next week our Hawks Under 13’s take part in their age category version of the same tournament, going in as Champions and looking to retain their title. We’ll let you know how they get on.

Club Awards 2017
Hawks Junior Cricket Awards
Junior Cricket Coordinator Mick Deasey said: “ Our first season in the Lancashire Youth Cricket League has been our most successful ever. Pre-season our U-11 and U-13 sides won the Hyndburn Indoor Competitions and our U-9 side finished runners up. During the summer our U-9, U-11 and U-13 sides all won their respective divisions.The U-11 side went one better and won the U-11 cup defeating both the Division 2 and Division 1 champions along the way.
“Twelve of the club’s players represented Hyndburn in District Cricket with Alex Kennedy hitting 70 not out for the U-13 side and Matt Litherland scoring 64 not out for the U-11’s.
“Overall young player of the year was Haris Iqbal who won both the U-13 and U15 bowling awards and was runner up in the U-13 batting. 14 year old Harris Masood became the first junior to win the Senior Most Improved Player award. Harris played some excellent knocks in the 2nd eleven and finished the season opening the bowling for the 1st XI, taking the first 4 wickets in his first game against Bacup.
“In all the club presented 90 individual awards to 40 players.”

Senior Cricket Awards
Despite a relatively disappointing season on the field, there was still much to celebrate from a Senior cricket perspective. Our first season in the Lancashire League was always going to be a challenge, but performances at times were impressive, and the impact made by some of the younger players shows the development work we have been putting in place is beginning to bear fruit. Along with the continued support and hard work of gifted senior players, this can only bode well for the future.

Hawks Junior Cricket Update – July 2017
This weekend, whilst we look forward to the rare occurrence of all three senior teams facing the same opposition counterparts in Nelson, attention also turns to our Hawks Under 11s, who face a cup semi final away at Burnley on Saturday morning.
Having already beaten strong sides in Haslingden and Clitheroe en route to the semi final, Paul Newton’s side go into the game hopeful of further success. Victory would bring the final to the Cliffe.
Indeed our Under 11s side are as yet unbeaten since joining the Lancashire Youth Cricket League. Wednesday’s League victory against Enfield represented a sixth straight league win, and eight in total with the aforementioned cup wins.
2017 has so far been extremely promising for our Hawks sides in general, with only the Under 9s having been beaten as yet, in their first ever game together against East Lancs.
This makes it all the more pleasing to see them bounce back to beat East Lancs in the return fixture last weekend, cementing their position at the top of the table.
Remarkably, as you can see, all four Hawks sides that have been in action currently sit top of their respective tables, and hold a combined record of
Played 20 – Won 18 – Tied 1 – Lost 1
Whilst we are aware that we are taking part in the lower division in each section, having only joined the LYCL this season, this current record is beyond expectations, and indicative that we are doing things right at many levels. This is testament to the hard work put in over the last few years by the junior co-ordinator, team managers and coaches.
Much of the season yet to go, but progress reports don’t get much more positive. Long may it continue.
