BLACKBURN-based Hawks are pushing for championship glory this season - in two leagues.

Bobby Haig's side are already heavily involved in the English League Division One (North) but have recently been accepted into the Border League, where teams from England and Scotland battle it out for the title.

Hawks get their first taste of Border League action this weekend.

As well as their ED1 game against the Flintshire Freeze at the Arena on Sunday, they face the tough test of Kirkaldy Kestrels in Scotland the night before.

Sunday's clash will be the third time Hawks have met the Freeze in two weeks - the two teams played home and away last weekend for the Anglo-Welsh Cup, which the Hawks won in style with a 10-7 aggregate win.

Haig will hope his side can build on that result in this weekend's double header.
