HAWKESDALE-MACARTHUR has claimed its biggest scalp of the Mininera and District Football League season after defeating reigning premier, Tatyoon, by 10 points at Macarthur Recreation Reserve on Saturday, 11.13 (79) to 10.9 (69).

The saying goes that you cannot win a game in the first quarter, but you can go a long way to losing it, and so it proved true for the Hawks, as they failed to get going in that first period with only four shots on goal compared to the Eagles’ eight.
