Ever wondered who the beautiful girl is on the cover page of our website shown supporting her team mate after a loss?

​Well it is our Junior Hawks player of the month for March - Kitty Quirk.
 
A simple arm around one of her team mates after a tight loss at the 2020 junior state cup exemplifies the spirit of Kitty and sums up her outlook on life and sport. Kitty embodies many of the qualities you look for in a successful Club culture – she’s unselfish, caring and committed.
 
At the tender age of 10, Kitty is already a veteran of four Junior State Cup tournaments and has made her mark with the Hawks with her dynamic speed and fitness. Her skills and knowledge of the game are improving with every tournament and her greatest asset is her undeniable commitment to her team.

At the recent JSC, Kitty had her best defensive tournament ever at link: growing in confidence and skill every game. Her other passion in life is dancing. However, once touch football takes control then all of her focus is shifted to improving her game and giving her best for the team.
 
One of our senior coaches added ‘Kitty is a player who adores her team mates and would do anything for them as well as her coaches. She always gives 100% and in fact lives for the excitement of Junior State Cup. She has made finals at Port and knows how to win. She is the type of player who every coach wants in their team’.

Congratulations to Kitty on being named Hawks Junior Player of the Month for March 2021.

Brendan Robertson is the Hawks Senior Player of the Month. He is the player every team needs and every Club appreciates.
 
Whether it be first to training, doing extra’s or being the last to leave, Brendan is a player that players want beside them.
 
On the field, he has established himself as a Premier League player for the Club and has also moved into the Scorpions Rep program after his consistent performances:
 

• Sydney Scorpions 2018
• Sydney Scorpions 2019
• Sydney Scorpions 2021

 
Off the field, he has taken on a coaching role with our u/16 boys team and has derived a lot of enjoyment in passing on his knowledge to the next generation of Hawks (in fact he has coached these boys for the past three seasons!!!). This coaching role continued at the recently washed out titles in Port Macquarie. This is an exceptional example of someone who is committed to the Club and committed to giving his time for the future of the Club. Time is such a precious commodity to give during these busy times and Brendan does this selflessly and really enjoys mentoring this group!
 
Brendan has been a Hawk for the past twelve years and in that time he has won four titles in juniors and seniors. He has now set his sights on winning a State Title in Premier League. “Whilst we still have a lot of improvement in us as a team, our work ethic and intensity at training is something we are working on and are focused on. We learnt a lot in December at Port when our team was wrecked by injuries however we dug deep for each other”. Bears said “I also love playing with all of the boys and the bond we have which has been built over many years”. 
 
Barry Gibson has been a close mentor and coach of Brendan (aka Bears) and said “I have really enjoyed watching Bears grow up to the man he is today. He has so much ability as a player and I am looking forward to him reaching his full potential over the next few years. He has a wonderful knowledge of the game and if you combine that with his speed and game management, you can see why he is so valued. He eats, sleeps and breaths Hawks culture”.

Congratulations to Brendan on being the Hawks Senior Player of the month for March 2021.
