Hellingly v Hethersett Hawks
HETHERSETT HAWKS / MYHILL DECORATORS made the long journey to Sussex for the annual League fixtures against Hellingly Lions and for the first time came back to Norfolk with all the points in the bag. The first-team were boosted by the return of David Adams who had resumed training a month ago and he gave a solid performance. Harley Hamill continued his good form and was well supported by rider/manager Leigh Cossey and Glyn Morgan.
The home side took a slender lead until a 7-3 win by Morgan and Hamill in heat 8 put the Hawks one up. Morgan and Adams got another 7-3 win to increase the lead to four points and a 6-4 win by Cossey and Liam webster in the penultimate heat sealed a narrow victory.

In the Division 2 match it was the vastly improving teenagers Daniel Longlands and Paul Delaiche that caught the eye in a 6-point win for the Hawks, Owen Wells dropping just two points to top the scorers. The teams were level at the interval but the key race was heat 11 as Wells and Longlands engineered a 7-3 win and a careful approach after that ensured victory.
