The 23-year-old dominated the session at the Kennedy Community Centre with five goals before leaving the field in pain.

Ginnivan is set to be sidelined for a couple of weeks but the Hawks don't expect him to miss the start of the season.

"Scans have revealed a minor fracture in Jack's finger," club doctor Liam West said.

"While he will miss the next few weeks of pre-season, we expect him to be fully fit for Opening Round."
