Match report

The fresh breeze kept things cool throughout the match. Hahndorf, decimated by illness and holiday timing, bravely took the field with 8 players, Torrens Valley graciously agreed to match.

The run of play was firmly in favour of Torrens Valley in the first half with many assertive attempts at goal skilfully trapped by Hahndorf keeper Jemma Langford. Fifteen minutes in Jade Czukli relieved Torrens Valley of the ball following through with a brilliantly executed goal. Torrens Valley sustained pressure resulted in a reply 10 minutes later. Hahndorf's staunch defence of holding the draw to half time.

Torrens Valley started strongly with a goal from the kickoff against desperate defence from Amber Klose that set the tone for the second half.    Despite a spirited Hahndorf defence with Morenike Kelly and Charlotte Fairley holding firm and prolific goal saves by Langford, Torrens Valley gained an additional 4 goals in the second half bringing the full time score to 1-5.  Player of the match Langford repeatedly put herself on the line against goal attempts that would have challenged Juventus’ Jan Oblak. A stoic performance by the whole team playing a full match in the cold conditions with notable performances from Lucianne Tinsley-Smith, Klose, Amiel Kerber and Alex Czukli.
