On loan Keighley Cougar Gavin Duffy is named Kingstone Press Championship One Player of the Week after a superb hat-trick at Hemel Stags.

 

Gavin who is on a monthโ€™s loan from the Cougars has scored 5 tries in 5 appearances so far for the Hawks and is in a rich vein of form heading into Sundays must win game against York City Knights.

 

Head coach Barry Eaton saidย โ€œI know what Gavin can offer from my time at Keighley. He was just what we needed, and he’s settled in very well.

 

โ€œHe’s playing particularly well and has already scored a few tries, but against Hemel he was outstanding. A couple of his tries were brilliant finishes, and he’s doing exactly what we need from him.โ€
