Hunslet Hawks pass character test
New boss Barry Eaton has hailed his Hunslet Hawks players’ fitness and strength of character.
Hawks are top of Northern Rail Cup Group B after winning their opening two matches in the space of five days.
They followed the midweek 34-18 victory over Whitehaven by winning 24-18 at Swinton Lions two days ago and Eaton said: “We dug in there.
“We got a win on Wednesday and then to go away four days later against a Swinton side who’d had a full week to prepare and who were fresh, hungry and determined and win left me really pleased overall.
“The scoreline was close all the way, but the fitness and determination they showed towards the back end of the game was very encouraging.”
Forward Ryan Benjafield suffered a whiplash injury and is a doubt for Sunday’s tough trip to Leigh Centurions.
