Hahndorf U7’s took on Bridgewater White this cold and wet Saturday on a slushy but lush green Basket Range pitch in a modified 9v9 game. The first half saw Asa Bartsch, Victor Bartsch, Finn Bond, Avery Buchanan, Patrick Griggs, Hamish Holmes, Chloe Pippos, and Axel Pym take the pitch, with Alfie McConville in the highly popular position of goalkeeper. V Bartsch, Buchanan, Griggs, and McConville played a strong defensive game - stopping the Bridgewater White goal attempts and returning the ball back to Hahndorf midfielders. The halfway mark saw Ryan Glynn take the field in place of Griggs, joining Hahndorf's defensive line. Bond and A Bartsh excelled in attack, managing to even continue play when laying on the ground! Pippos, Holmes, and Pym formed a cohesive midfield, backing up both offense and defence, with Pym providing strong direction to the team. Through strong back up from Hahndorf's offense and midfield, Bond teamed up with V. Bartsh and Pym for an amazing, albeit unsuccessful, shot at goal.

Half time saw a change in goalkeeper to Griggs, with Pippos, McConville, and Bond providing defensive support, and Pym, Bond, and Glynn moving to the midfield. A. Bartsh, V. Bartsh, and Holmes made up Hahndorf's strong offensive line - with Holmes performing some epic slide tackles throughout. The ball spent a fair bit of time at both ends of the pitch, demonstrating a well-matched game between both sides. An amusing goal scored for Hahndorf by Bridgewater White at the end of the second half, finished the game off with a chuckle from some very muddy U7's and spectators alike! The Hahndorf team and officials would like to thank the Bridgewater White team and officials for a well-matched and muddy game!
