A case of boys versus men with Hawks blooding a stack of last year’s under-18 side in their 2016 squad, an experienced CYMS ran rampant in the most dominant 80 minute display at Wade Park in over a decade.

“CYMS are just a well drilled side,” a clearly dejected Gangaram said on field.

“I’m going to go ahead and say they’ll win the comp; they’ll go back-to-back.”

Hawks were starved of possession for the entire game and what little ball they enjoyed, it often resulted in a mistake.

In total the two blues completed just five of 19 sets for the game.

“We’re not going to win any game, it doesn’t matter how talented you are, you don’t win with that possession,” Gangaram said, adding his side’s penchant to push the pass was a maturity thing, or a lack there of.

“Just because you’re down on the scoreboard doesn’t mean you have to try and score off every play. Footy is an 80 minute game. You’ve got to get into the grind.”

Hawks’ 2016 season now comes down to one game – next week’s clash with Workes in Lithgow.

The loser earns a wooden spoon.

“Our goal is to not get that wooden spoon,” Gangaram said. “We don’t want to finish any season with the spoon.”
