Hawthorn nearly won their third game in a row in Round 6 of wheelchair football but Richmond came out on top, narrowly winning by four points.

Richmond started strongly but Brian Owen did well to keep the Hawks in it with five important goals.

Troy Hawkins’ defensive efforts allowed Owen to score and made to a close and exciting game.

Richmond were ahead in the last few seconds. Joe Chivers had the ball. Unfortunately, since he doesn’t play as a forward, he wasn’t allowed to score. If only he was! The game might have turned out differently. 

Either way, it’s great to see the team growing in their skills and teamwork each game. In what was a brilliant game of football, the Hawks could be proud of their game.  Thanks for an exciting game, guys.
