Match report

Hahndorf hosted Woodside Warriors on a sunny Saturday afternoon at Pine Avenue. The game started with some strong attacking and defending by both teams and Hahndorf’s Tully Probert was in the thick of it, getting plenty of ball early and Jack Anderson had some early shots at goal. After 10 minutes, Woodside’s forwards broke through and kicked their first goal of the game, beating Hahndorf’s keeper James Bagley. Woodside found the back of the net again before Hahndorf’s Jamie Hamilton received a nice pass from Eddie Hardingham and kicked his first goal for the match. The first half was hard fought and at 1-2, the home team were pleased with their efforts against a very skilful opposition. The 2nd half was dominated by Hahndorf starting with a great running goal by Anderson to level the scores. Hahndorf’s defenders held back numerous advances by Woodside and Jack Eakins, Xavier Kell, Josh Rayner, David Nielsen, Jackson Doley and Alex Montagu were solid in defence. Hahndorf’s midfield was strong with Probert, Will Bailye, Micah Edgecombe and Angus Mason setting up a number of Hahndorf attacks. Anderson kicked his 2nd goal after a Hahndorf corner and Woodside received a penalty and converted to even up the scores again. Hahndorf’s skipper Tully Probert ran hard and kicked a well-deserved goal and Anderson again out-sprinted the Woodside defenders to kick his third goal for the match. Hamilton scored his second goal with 5 minutes left on the clock and Hahndorf walked away with a great 6-3 victory.
