Today’s game against Bromley has been called off due to a frozen pitch.
Ryan is next to sign
Sun Jan 29 2012, 12:56
Perry Ryan, a regular fixture in the Hawks side since appearing in six pre-season matches, has become the latest game-by-game player in the side to put pen to paper on a full contract. The two year deal will see Ryan with the Hawks for the next two seasons.
Although able to play in defence, Ryan has become a midfield man in Shaun Gale’s side, even scoring the decisive goal in last Tuesday’s senior cup clash with Sholing.
Hawks dominate but fall behind twice
Sat Jan 28 2012, 17:27
Despite dominating vast stretches of the game, the Hawks were forced to come from behind twice to secure a 2-2 draw against relegation threatened Hampton and Richmond Borough at Westleigh park this afternoon.
The hosts fell behind after just two minutes when Dave Tarpey’s strike put the Beavers ahead, and were then left to rue their chances when Steve Ramsey fired a penalty onto the bar six minutes later.
But Ramsey made amends for his miss in the 35th minute when he levelled the score, before Hampton retook the lead in the 72nd minute through a Tobi Alabi header. The lead lasted a scant four minutes however, before Chris Holland head home a Ramsey corner at the other end for the Hawks’ second equaliser.
Hawks HQ have announced that left back Chris Arthur has now joined the side on a two year deal. Arthur played four games for the Hawks last September before moving to Northampton Town in search of a pro contract, but returned to Westleigh Park in December.
Meanwhile going the other way is Striker Lee Peacock, whose twenty one match tenure with the Hawks has ended with his contract being cancelled by mutual consent. Goalkeeper Nathan Ashmore, who went on loan to Gosport Borough earlier in the season, has now completed a permanent move to Privett Park.
Hawks make Senior Cup semis... just
Wed Jan 25 2012, 13:53
The Hawks narrowly ensured passage into the semi-final of the Hampshire Senior Cup last night with a slender 1-0 victory over Southern League side Sholing at Westleigh Park. Perry Ryan made the difference between the sides when he rose in the 15th minute to nod a corner low past visiting keeper Mike Hookway.
The draw for the semi-final tie, which could see the Hawks matched up against Eastleigh, Winchester, AFC Totton, or AFC Portchester, will be made on Radio Solent’s non-league show on Saturday evening.
The Hawks were forced to settle for a goalless draw with bottom of the table Thurrock at Ship Lane this afternoon. Bitter winds dogged a game that saw both sides mange to create few chances to secure three much needed points.
The hosts came closest late in the second half when Alex Osborn’s cross left Lee Boylan with an easy finish six yards out, but the striker’s shot blazed over the bar. Steve Ramsey then tried to force the win for the Hawks, but his near post effort took the slightest of deflections mid-flight and slammed into the post.
The 10-man Hawks rose to 14th in the table after a miraculous turnaround saw them come from behind to beat Maidenhead United 2-1 at Westleigh Park this afternoon.
When Bobby Hopkinson was sent off for a two-footed lunge on ex-Hawk Manny Williams in the dying minutes of a goalless first half, the hosts looked set for an impossible second period.
And when Alex Wall turned home Williams’ deflected shot fifteen minutes after the break the game looked up for the struggling Hawks.
But an inspired substitution saw the side back on level terms when Ryan Woodford nodded home Steve Ramsey’s corner just six minutes after coming on.
The goal fired the faltering home side back in to life, and two minutes from the end Scott Jones sealed the unlikeliest of wins when he took on Chris Holland’s beautifully flighted ball and drove a low shot into the bottom corner.
The Hawks have signed recent Portsmouth acquisition Dan Thompson on loan to the end of the season. The 18 year old striker has just joined Pompey on a one year scholarship with the possibility of a professional contract in future, and will be available for the match against Maidenhead next weekend.
Thompson is a product of the youth setup at Hampton and Richmond, having progressed through the ranks of the junior and reserve teams before joining the senior side last season.
