Abermain Weston Hawks Count Cost Of Deliberately Lit Fire

BY IAN CROUCH

The Abermain Weston Hawks Rugby League club is counting the cost of Monday night's fire which destroyed their clubhouse.

As we reported yesterday, 5 wheelie bins were set alight under the eves of the building at Howe Park which quickly spread to the roof.

The Hawks lost everything in the blaze, with the damage bill estimated at $20,000.

It's a cruel blow for the club which has made the Newcastle and Hunter Rugby League Grand Final.

Hunter Valley police are investigating the arson attack.

Meanwhile, if you can help, please contact Hawks coach Dean Peterkin by emailing dozzapeterkin1988@hotmail.com
