Match report

It was a cool but still morning when Hahndorf U9 met with Strathalbyn Black at Strathalbyn. From the first whistle Hahndorf put on a strong effort.

Strathalbyn also put up a strong defence from the beginning, keeping Hahndorf at bay for much of the first half. Some skilful running and footwork by Joel Bateman gave him an early shot on goal, followed by a further opportunity by Harry Wood. Goalie Amber Abrahams was very strong in defence, making a number of clever saves. Strathalbyn’s forwards were playing well though, and managed to break through Hahndorf’s defence to find the back of the net.

The second half resumed, with Jensen Ingram in front of the goals. Will Tully, Edward Mardle and Pearl Rooney combined to make a strong defence, with all three delivering strong passes back into the forward. Several clever headers by Billy Cook, and fast pace running and skilful passes by Caleb Earley, kept the ball in Hahndorf’s forward. Shots at goal by both Bodhi Potezny and Joel Bateman resulted in goals for Hahndorf.

It was a great effort by Hahndorf against a strong Strathalbyn side, with excellent skills shown by both teams. The Hahndorf Under 9 wish to thank Strathalbyn Black for a great game.
