Match report

It was a crisp, sunny morning as Hahndorf Black prepared to play against Woodside Warriors Red. Woodside were quick to take possession of the ball, however Hahndorf were remaining strong and working as a team to put pressure on their opponents. Hahndorf were eventually able to move the play after Jacob Neumann produced an impressive kick towards the centre of the field. Woodside fought back strong, being the first team to make an attempt at goals, albeit unsuccessful. Henri Bjordal and Neumann J. worked well together to once again move the play to Hahndorf’s end allowing Bjordal to take a shot at goals, however roles were soon reversed and the Woodside team remained strong in their defence. As play continued both teams were performing strong in attack and defence as the ball ping-ponged from one end to the other. Hahndorf was once again faced with a tense moment while trying to clear the ball from their opponent’s goal and after much persistence they finally broke free. Pepe Zahra and Joash Ng continued to apply pressure allowing Angus Mifsud and Zack Schwarz to get on top of the ball immediately after being subbed on to play. As the half time whistle blew both teams were yet to score. Play once again began and both teams continued to put up a fight making several attempts at goal. Woodside eventually broke away from the Hahndorf defence and took another shot at goals and despite all of Schwarz’s efforts to hit the ball out of the goals, it was on the rebound that the Woodside player would be successful at scoring the first goal of the game. As play continued Woodside were able to score again despite the pressure being applied by the Hahndorf team. As the end of the match was approaching Neumann J. and Ryley Neumann pushed on hard together working together giving Neumann J. the opportunity to score Hahndorf’s first goal. Both teams played extremely well in an even levelled match. Well done!
