Hunslet Hawks centre Jimmy Watson is the Kingstone Press Championship 1 Player of the Week.

 

Jimmy Watson earned praise from Hawks coach Barry Eaton after making a major contribution to his sideโ€™s 60-4 win over London Skolars.

 

Eaton said: โ€œJimmy was really good against Oxford last week, and he was great again when we played London.

 

โ€œHis push support has been good, heโ€™s not making any errors and heโ€™s slotted in defensively straight away.

 

โ€œHeโ€™s not normally a centre, but heโ€™s been doing a great job over the last couple of weeks.โ€

 

The Hawks also had 4 players named in the Kingstone Press Championship 1 Team of the Week. Congratulations to Jimmy Watson, hat-trick hero Jamaine Akaidere, Danny Grimshaw & Liam Mackay.
