Match report

Today the Under 12 White played at Ashton Oval against Ranger Junior Soccer Club.  The weather was absolutely perfect with the sun shining for the fist time in 2 weeks!  This week the team warmly welcomed Zoe York as permanent member. We are very lucky to have her. 

Hahndorf unfortunately could only field a team of 10 due to school holidays, regardless of this, played as though they were a full side.

Rielly Bowden took to goals, and it was very obvious from the start that the goal-keeping clinic he has been attending for the past few weeks has helped his game significantly.  He made great saves throughout the game, and confidently controlled his back line.

Charlie Harvey, William Whiting and Harry Mumford set up in the defense, and between the three of them held out the Rangers forwards many times.  This job was made even harder with Hanhdorf playing with only 10 giving Rangers the option to use their extra player in attack. The three in the back continued to play a strong defensive game throughout the entire 60 mins. 

The midfield consisted of Griffin Turnbull, Matthew Knight, Zoe York and Julian Hack.  These four played a convincing game, and worked consistently to support the defense and the forwards. This paid off as Zoe York score a goal and Julian Hack score two goals.

Lucus Leske and Josh Verryt took on the role as attackers. These two boys managed to skillfully move the ball throughout the Rangers backline and as a result scored three goals between them.  

The game was even in the last 5 minutes of the second half, with both teams at 6 all.  Rangers managed a final goal in the dying minutes of the game, leaving both teams on the edge of their seats until the final whistle.  The nail biting end to the game shows that Hahndorf Under 12 White are absolutely capable of bringing strong competition to any team. Playing with one player down didn’t reduce the team’s commitment to the game; it only proved to the players how well they play as a team.
