Ollie Hawkins
1st Team Head Coach

Saturday's match sadly marks our final match for the New World Premiership, and an important game for us as a unit to see out the season against a Parklands side at home who challenged us in the first round.

This week we have seen a reshuffle in the league with Cashmere Technical dropping points alongside Ferrymead Bays and also Waimak United now replaying their match in round 1 against Burwood. For us, there is no change to where we sit, so we need to only focus on our performance tomorrow and push for the highest finish in the league which is now in a top 4 position.

We know the Western game didn't exactly go to plan to be  2-1 down at half time, however again our boys have shown what this new set-up is and came back to push and respectively should have won by a considerable amount but sadly failed to score in key moments ending in a 2-2 draw. 

Lastly, given it is our last game for the season - I would like to make special mentions to the Club for all the background support including Craig Crawford for this match day/media posts. Secondly, the Coaching staff - Nathan Young, Patrick Rousse and Callum Bowman, have worked like clockwork since the transition and the boys and I know how much you all put it - it is recognised.

To the players, we have had a great journey this season and tremendous team spirit within the senior environment, the numbers at training and the commitment from you all show an upward trajectory in all levels of performances which we are super excited about! Shout out to players Roshan Khatill and Aiden Kelly on their last games for the squad as they embark on new experiences outside of Christchurch, they both have been great players for the badge over the last 3 seasons at the Club, in particular, Aiden with his Academy Coaching in the U14s this year and last year.

We hear most of our Hawks are playing at Warren Park and Halswell Domain tomorrow for internal and final games - have fun! We will be down early to support.
