Hawks’ memorable campaign recognised at SWSA awards night

The Harvey Hawks Football Club faithful are unlikely to forget their 2022 division one campaign in the South West Soccer Association anytime soon.

Aside from the thrill of having two sides in division 1 this season, both sides finished in the top-two — with the club’s “second” team runaway champions.

With Jeramiah Markson — who finished with 27 goals — banging in goals for fun, the Hawks’ second XI ended the campaign with a 12-point cushion by season’s end.

Along with scoring a phenomenal 102 goals, the Hawks conceded a miserly 26, which was more than bottom sides Dynamos and Australind managed all season.

Despite the title sewn up weeks earlier, it was fitting both Hawks sides met on the final day of the home and away season, with a Markson brace enough to give his side a tight 2-1 win.
