Hawks travelled to Port Glasgow on Sunday to take on the Sharks. CV were first to receive the ball.

From deep in their own half the offensive line protected well to allow some power running from Gary Clark but the drive stalled on the Sharks 30yard line and Inverclyde took over the ball. However a strong Hawks defense forced the Sharks to punt the ball.

Both teams were unable to move the ball before the first quarter drew to a close. Gary Clark opened Hawks scoring when he barrelled over from the 1 yard line.

The extra point attempt was no good. Although Shark’s Ross Cuffe & Brian McFerren made some positive running yards Inverclyde found it difficult to break down the robust Hawks defense.

Hawks threatened again when QB David Orr connected with Darren Murray for a 40 yard gain but Shark’s David Carney Jnr. intercepted the next pass.

Time ran out on the Sharks as they tried once more to score. The second half opened with the Hawks Scott Finlay recovering the Hawks kick off to give his team possession. Once again Gary Clark went to work and raced upfield behind some strong blocking.

He finished this off with a 4 yard scamper for his second score of the day.

The extra point kick was blocked by a swarming Sharks special team.

GAME WAS ABANDONED IN THE THIRD QUARTER
