Today we welcome our old friends from across the Pennines, the Oldham Roughyeds. We did not have the pleasure of their company last season, so many of our fans will not have seen them now for acouple of years, and will be looking forward with interest to today’s fixture. Please allow me time to reflect on the Hawks’ performance against ahighly- placed and, at times, over -physical Whitehaven Warriors outfit. “Superb” is the only fitting adjective for our boys who produce adisplay of passionate enthusiasm, unquestionable courage, and burgeoning skill, which augurs well for our future. It did my heart good to hear the vociferous encouragement from our fans. We have not had much to “shout about” since our NFP achievements of three seasons ago. But we have signs of resurgence and our “youth policy” received complimentary recognition from BBC Radio presenter John Boyd on his round -up following the match with Whitehaven. He named us as one of the clubs to adopt the system of “giving youth achance as opposed to signing overseas players who had seen better days.” Another man from the media John Helm attended the match. He was suitably impressed and it will not be long before he is aspectator at another of our home fixtures. John said “whenever Ihave aSunday evening duty at TV Iwili pop in to South Leeds Stadium if Hunslet Hawks are playing. Iam iost in admiration of the youngsters. Mick Coyle must feel like agranddad in such youthful company. Mick has been agreat servant to the club.” It is always good to have John Helm with us. He loves rugby league even though his principal duties are related to soccer. He is now adirector and vice president at Bradford Park Avenue PC so he is fully conversant with the problems of governing aclub in the lower echelon of sport. We don’t often merit more than adozen paragraphs or so in our locai leading newspaper. clubs appear to dominate the columns but we had quite alengthy show on the Yorkshire Evening Post’s letter page recently. Iam grateful to Alan Stephenson for the points he made in awell-written and sincere missive responding to aRugby League article. Well done Alan! Sentiments expressed by “Our Al” prove that we have afaithful following and a determination that Hunslet Hawks will never face the fate, which has befallen Bramley and York.

Hopefully Bramley will return, there seems to be avoid in the fixture list without the name of our oid rivals. Many clubs are facing financial problems. We are keeping afloat and have the backing of directors and loyal supporters who will always battle to ensure the presence of Hunslet Hawks in the Rugby League sphere. We must maintain our resolve to bring back the “stayaways” .Teil them about our youngsters, impress upon them that we have astrong team in the making and that we will eventually return to the glory days. Again our boys showed great courage and tenacity against Bulldogs but unfortunately did not have the strength to hold onto the lead they gained at the start of the game. Today we welcome Oldham Roughyeds, who have often had to weather afinancial storm and other problems. But they live to tell the tale and we expect another tough confrontation today. Enjoy the game.

Yours sincerely

'T> .0; m X- 13 ATRIBUTE TO KEN TRAILL Ken Traill was aRugby League legend in South Leeds where he commanded respect and admiration not only for his sporting prowess but because he was agentleman in every sense of the word. He was on the Hunslet Hawks board of directors before the onset of the illness which eventually resulted in his demise. We mourn his passing and offer sympathy to his devoted family and friends. Ken’s playing career took him from Hunslet, and his beloved Parkslde, to Bradford Northern and Wakefield Trinity. He also coached Trinity but his first love was Hunslet. Ken toured Australia in 1950 and 1954. He represented and Great Britain. On the 1954 tour he was accompanied by feUow Hunslet player “Ginger” BurneU who said “Ken was agreat fellow. He was well liked, always smart in his dress, and aman who enjoyed aquiet social life. “He succeeded his father Jim as landlord of the Prospect In Hunslet Carr. He liked aglass of beer but he was atrue athlete and looked after his fitness. “Ken was perhaps the slowest loose forward ever to gain international honours but he was gifted in other directions. He could draw the opposition and time alightening pass to the speedy backs. He had superb passing ability and dictated many games. He was abrilliant player and one of my best friends. U Ken was popular with spectators and players alike and it will be asad day for the members of the ex-Parkslde Association when we meet for the annual re-union in June. We will stand in memory of asporting hero and recall Ken with deep affection.n Ken’s funeral took place at Hunslet Parish Church at 1.45pm on Wednesday 3rd April and the reception was held at South Leeds Stadium.

The topic of promotion and relegation also came up, and it was pleasing to hear that Gary Schofield felt that the Hawks had been treat shabbily in the past. Being an ex player from north of the river, I must admit Ithought it amistake to invite him to the function, but my views and opinions changed after hearing his forthright views on todays game and its pitfalls. He came across to me as someone who didn't hold back if his views were controversial, but nonetheless he put his opinions across fairly and squarely. The whole panel and guests were of the opinion that the main root of all the games problems was money. The whole system seems to be unfair and needs to be looked at and changed as amatter of urgency. Since the demise of York, we now hear that Barrow are in deep trouble, along with Hi, everyone! ourselves, Swinton, Gateshead, Chorley The Yorkshire Federation of Supporters and Dewsbury.

DISGRACEFUL! Inow know how journalists feel the day after abad news day. On one day just no news at all so we end up with stories about old Mrs Jones forgetting to bring her washing in, Sven Goran Eriksson cutting his toe-nails etc. The next is just bristling with major events; the budget, terror attacks and celebrity divorces by the bucketful.

Today Ifall into the latter category with two major matters to write about as well as the usual drivel. And what's more both fall under the "Disgraceful!" headline. The first disgrace has, not surprisingly, been caused by the League. Isuppose we should be used to it by now. Firstly they refuse to give the people who are trying to put arescue package together for York Wasp an extension to their deadline forcing them out of business (at least for now). Secondly, they move Keighley from the Central to the Eastern division in the Buddies National Cup to even up the numbers, depriving the Hawks of abumper (for us) bank holiday crowd. Thirdly and most dastardly of all they cock-up the Hawks Handicap Competition by depriving it of its last match, the score for which also provides the tie beaker. I'm sorry if my bad language causes any Ned Flanders type readers to blush but it's how Ifeel.

So the Handicap competition had to finish after only five games and it ended with no-one on amaximum of fen points. Three entrants had eight points, Jim Irons, Andrew Clarkson and I'm sorry to have to admit, yours truly. It seems that the only way to decide the outright winner is to choose another match as the tie-breaker. I've already spoken to one of the other winners, who agrees to this approach and will be able to speak to the other shortly, Ihope. How did everyone else fare? Here's the full list:-

6points: Judie Rishman, Dave Pollard, M.E.S.S. Team, A. Jackson.

4points: John Sellers, Richard Holmes, Andy Parker, John Ainsley, Peter Whiteley, Helen Ainsley, Ian Wiggins 2points: Sue Burton, Michael Manghan, Broker Team (Axa Insurance), Dave Stott, Christine Lloyd, Patrick O'Neill, Adrian Jinks

0points: Neil Courtman

The next handicap competition entitled, imaginatively, "Hunslet Hawks Handicap II" commences with the home fixture against Dewsbury on 29th April. Apologies for the short notice but that missing Keighley match is responsible for yet another problem. Entry forms are available in the Phoenix Bar today and all next week. Completed entries can be handed in right up to the kick off on 29th April or posted to Fan Taz, PO Box 84, Churwell, Morley, LS27 7ZX with the £5 entry fee. Please enter!

How about the all season long Fantasy Competition? Only two participants on maximum points now, Alan Stephenson and Sarah Hopkins. Finally, careful readers will have noticed that Ihaven't yet mentioned the second reason why Icould have written under the heading "Disgraceful!" Imust confess to being alittle embarrassed here. Iwas going to write that Pee Dee a.k.a. Helen Ainsley obviously isn't an avid reader as she hasn't been in touch to arrange to claim her bottle of wine, which won the prize for best silly name. But I've been in touch with her on the telephone half way through writing these notes and she had read the column in the last programme and apologised for not getting in touch. At least one reader then! I've also discovered that Helen is just 13 and Idon't want her dad punching me for plying her with drink.

Be Lucky, FAN TAZ.
