Round two sweep for Hay Magpies, in clashes against Yanco Hawks

Hay Magpies came away with three wins and a draw in their round two clash against Yanco Wamoon Hawks at Yanco on Sunday.

“It was a really good win,” first grade coach Chris Stewart said after the game. “There was a lot of dropped ball in the first half but we turned it around and stuck to our game plan.

Against a new look Hawks outfit, the Hay side went into the first-grade match in attack mode and set the pace early with punishing runs. The side was bolstered by the inclusion on Ben Arandt at lock, who settled into the role well – his experience will be vital this season.

Harley Hey put the Hawks on notice with his first tackle, a massive warning shot on what the Yanco side should expect from the Magpies defence.
