This week's match report comes from Thomas.

Our first game of 2020 was against Harrow Falcons, who were also the first team we played this season. The away match was tight and this game proved to be similar.

The game started with quite a quiet atmosphere as both teams sized each other up. Harrow scored first then it was tit-for-tat scoring with some good shooting and shows of skill from the Harrow team. Blackhawks weren’t pushed over and kept the score to a five point deficit at the end of the first quarter.

Quarter two saw Blackhawks get off to a fast start evening out the scores but Harrow continued to run us hard. Harrow got themselves into foul trouble, which allowed the Blackhawks to capitalise and walk off with a narrow 2-point lead at half-time, 35-33.

Quarter three saw Blackhawks take control of the game. Harrow found themselves in foul trouble again and Blackhawks took advantage of this to extended their lead to ten points.

Quarter four saw Blackhawks go on a scoring streak, outscoring Harrow 24 points to 10 with Youssef and Sean enjoying a lot of points. This was overall a good match to watch because of how tense it was all the way. Both teams fought hard but Blackhawks pulled away in the second half to secure the win, 83-59.
