Match report

The Hahndorf Under 12’s team put in a strong team effort against a competitive Stirling Districts team at Bradwood Park Sports Ground.

The first half saw Jacob Gerber off early with a minor injury. Hahndorf then went on to score an early goal from Lawson Shotton followed up by a 2nd goal by Emlyn Gilroy. The strong attack of the team were supported by the midfielders and defenders including Billy Cook who was strong in defence and Joel Bateman as goal keeper. The opposition team were hungry for the ball, seeing Christopher Haynes, Jensen Ingram, Cooper Newman and Harry Wood demonstrated their footwork skills to intercept the ball and then seek opportunities to pass to their teammates.

Hahndorf continued their momentum into the second half with strong passing from Caleb Earley, Thomas Stapleton and Samuel Whitehead. B. Cook, Stapleton and Sonjae Cook continued the strong defence who along with Jackson Bidgood in goals kept the Stirling team to one goal. Gilroy and Shotton worked hard to score a goal each. Stirling soon responded, breaking through Hahndorf's defence to score a goal.  Bateman’s fast running and timely passing assisted him to score 2 goals to finish off the second half.

The 14 strong Hahndorf team demonstrated teamwork with fairness leading to a convincing win.  The Hahndorf under 12s team wish to thank the Stirling Team for the match played in the great spirit of the game on Saturday 21st May 2022.
