MEC Shakeup

BAFA have annouced this week that a shakeup of the MEC Conference is due to happen in answer to Woodham Warriors from the MEC North and Doncaster Mustangs from the MEC South, are to forfeit this coming season.   With that in mind, the fixtures and results already played by both teams will be wiped from the record, and the remaining schedule will be re worked to balance gamedays.  

Currently the only effect it has on the Warhawks is a re scheduled rematch with Calderdale Kights will take place on the 19th June in Sheffield rather than the 9th July Fixture, which is still in place, but only as a friendly fixture.  This means currently the Warhawks sit in 3rd in the MEC North behind upcoming opponents Sheffield Vipers, with a 3-3 record.  Narrowly behind are Leeds Samurai with a 3-4 record having 3 results scrapped (0-2 to woodham, and a win against doncaster this past weekend)

Warhawks First Taste of Competition 2016

 

Wigan Warhawks got their first taste of competitive football this past weekend at the NuOla Spring Shield.  With a delayed start down to the ever present UK weather, the games eventually got going around 11:30am after a few teams dropping out, down to the fact we had to switch surfaces to sand based all weather pitch.  

The groups were switched around, and we ended up with a 3 team group consisting of Coventry Panthers and Coventry Cougars. 

 

Sailing through to the playoff stages after results against the following:

Warhawks V Panthers - WIN - 20 - 0

Warhawks V Cougars - WIN - 21 - 13

 

We were matched up against our old foes and fellow rookie sides, Cheshire Cavalliers, where we crashed out with a margin of 26-6.
