HIST Officially Take Over Hunslet Hawks RLFC In Historic Move

 Hunslet Independent Supporters Trust are delighted to announce that from the 1st of February (Today) the trust has officially taken over full responsibility for the day to day running of Hunslet Hawks RLFC. As of today Grahame Liles and Sean Cluderay have now stepped down as Directors of the club.

HIST would like to place on record our thanks on behalf of the HIST members and Hunslet supporters in general to both Grahame and Sean for all they have done over the past 30 years to keep the great name of Hunslet alive in the world of rugby league. Without them both the club would not have survived against all the adversity it has faced. The fact that they leave the club on a solid foundation for HIST to takeover is testament to both their hard work and commitment to the club. The input, knowledge and experience of Grahame has been invaluable in steering us forward over the past few months to get to this position.

The HIST committee will initially have three representatives who will take up roles on the new look Hunslet board as directors. The three representatives who are Phil Robinson, Gareth Evans and Darren Williams have all been voted on to the Hunslet board by the HIST committee.

The HIST committee have also co-opted current director Ian Johnson to the new board. HIST are pleased to retain Ian’s services as he has been at the club for many years and has a great knowledge of the inside workings of the club and his experience will prove invaluable as we look to move forward.

HIST’s first official game in charge of the club will be our Northern Rail Cup match at home to Whitehaven on Sunday 12th February. We hope that all our supporters and HIST members will be at the South Leeds Stadium to get behind the club and the team, to mark what is, a truly historic day for the Hunslet Hawks club.

The club is now run by you, its supporters, we would urge anyone who hasn’t joined HIST to do so. It’s your chance to have your say on how your club is run, one share one vote. We need everyone working together and pulling in the right direction to make this a success. Together we can make Hunslet Hawks a successful community based club that generations to come will be proud of, remember, “We’ve swept the seas before boys, so we shall again”.

Hunslet Independent Supporters Trust hope to announce a major signing tomorrow (Thursday 2nd Feb) which we hope will give everyone connected with the club a massive boost before we kick off our 2012 campaign.

The HIST committee
