Match report

Hahndorf started the game with Harry Wood, Eddie Bjordal and Joel Bateman in the forward, Lawson Shotton and Thomas Stapleton in the back, whilst Billy Cook was goalkeeper.
In the first half there was some precise passing up forward with shots at goal from Bjordal and Wood.  Hahndorf then found the back of the net with 3 consecutive goals by Bateman.  Shotton and Stapleton were strong in defence and Cook made several good saves in the goals.

In the second half, coach Steve swapped the team positions around with Stapleton, Shotton and Cook now taking up the forward positions and Bateman, Bjordal and Wood in the back.  Stapleton was able to convert some excellent forward play by Cook and Shotton early in the second half, to score a goal.  This was shortly followed by an excellent throw-in from Shotton, and another goal by Stapleton.   Woodside’s defence was strong, but with Cook’s assistance, Shotton was able to find the back of the goals.

In the back, Bjordal, Wood and Bateman were able to fend off Woodsides attack, with all three making strong passes back to the forward.  Hahndorf’s forwards were able to make several more shots on goal, with 2 attempts converting to goal.

Hahndorf would like to thank Woodside for an exciting first match for the season, and for allowing our Under 10s team to borrow 2 of their players, Charlie Askew and Finn Bamford, to meet player numbers.
