Match report

It was a crisp morning when the Hahndorf Under 10 Black team met with the Murray Bridge United U10 Blue team.

From the first whistle it was evident that we were in for a great game of soccer at the Hahndorf Soccer pitch.

Jacob Gardiner and Harrison Gould started the game in a spectacular manner with both attempting early shots on goal. Both times the ball was saved by Murray Bridges goalie. After some great play by Patrick Heinze, Thomas Filipowicz and Ryley Neumann the ball ended up with Gould who kicked a strong goal.

Oliver Saracini-Palombo was fantastic as Hahndorfs goalie and did not let a ball get through!

Neumann gained control of the ball and skilfully passed to Toby Files who was unlucky not to score with a fantastic shot on goal.

Heinze played a solid game in defence and gained control back of the ball on numerous occasions. The first half finished with Gould putting the ball to the back of the net again.

After an energy fuelling orange break and with some encouraging words from the coaches the team were ready for the second half.

Gould started off as the goalie for Hahndorf. After some great teamwork Files found the ball and lined up a shot on goal. After a very strong kick he was exceptionally unlucky to miss the goal.

A kick in during a corner saw the ball head towards Gardiner who in turn shot for goal and narrowly missed. Great spirit and hard work saw Files, Heinze and Saracini-Palombo bring the ball back near attached and Zack Schwarz lept forward and kicked his first goal for the game. It was not long after that Lien followed suit for another Hahndorf goal.

Neumann and Schwarz both saw the way clear in getting the ball through for another goal each.

It was great to see the Hahndorf team work so well together. Thank you to the coaches, referee and the Murray Bridge team for another fantastic game.
