Hahndorf VS Woodside Under 12 match report 29 May 2021

A crisp Saturday morning on 29 th May saw Hanhdorf Under 12’s faced off against Woodside Under
12’s at the Woodside Recreation Ground.
Hahndorf kicked off but within 5 minutes Woodside broke past Hahndorf’s defence, scoring their
first goal. The game was on in earnest as forwards, Levi Beesley, Hayden Lien, and Emlyn Gilroy
responded quickly, and pushed strongly toward goals aided by mid-fielders, Cooper Liddle, Jacob
Gardner, Chris Haynes.
Hahndorf defenders Dante Man, Lawson Shotton, Daniel Peters, Oli Aylen and goal keeper Ryder
Hill held their ground and supported Hahndorf’s first goal by Liddle at the 7 minute mark.
Woodside had several strong cracks at the goals but luck was not in their favour. The game was
proving very even with both teams not giving an inch.
Near the 15 minute mark Harrison Gould replaced Gardner. Harrison’s ball skills worked well with
Gilroy and Beesley who had the speed to push the ball beyond Woodside defenders, however
finding it difficult to get the ball to hit the target.
At half time goalie Hill took to the defence line swapping with Man who became Hahndorf’s keeper.
As Woodside kicked off, Hahndorf immediately pushed hard with Hill, Haynes, Lawson and Liddle
interrupting Woodside’s attacks.
Gould was all over the field and again working well with Gilroy and Beesley.
Fifteen minutes into the last half a perfectly placed penalty shot by Lien gave Hahndorf its 2 nd goal.
Three minutes later Liddle took advantage of an open goal to give Hahndorf their 3 rd goal.
Hinze who had subbed with Aylen was disrupting Woodside by clearing balls on the side line.
Ten minutes to go and a Woodside ball slipped by Hahndorf keeper Man during close contact with
an opposition player. That became Woodside’s 2 nd goal.
With 8 minutes to go Lien got his 2 nd goal bringing Hahndorf’s tally to 4. Then another 2 minutes
later Woodside scored its 3 rd and final goal for the match.
Minutes before the end of the match, keeper Man took firm control of a fast ball aimed at
Hahndorf’s goals.
Although Hahndorf were the victors, spectators and players were rewarded with an evenly matched
game that could have easily gone either way.
