Game abandoned
Dark textured background

The Illawarra Hawks & Sydney Kings game was abandoned during the second quarter due to an unsafe playing surface. The safety of players, officials and fans will always come first, and while it’s never the outcome any of us want, it was the right call.

At the time, Kings led 32-27.

Were you at the game?

We appreciate you making the effort to come out to support your Illawarra Hawks tonight and we want to give you something special in return. Check your email for an update, and what's next.

We would also like to take this opportunity to encourage you to share your voice in the Wollongong Goals survey and get behind our push for new and improved basketball facilities for the Illawarra.
