Match report

Hahndorf’s Under 13 Girls squad took on Stirling at the Bradwood Park ground on Saturday afternoon.

Hahndorf put pressure on the opposing team right from the get-go and had some close shots on the goal.  The offensive tactic, however, was bypassed by some big kicks from the opposition which allowed them to get control of Hahndorf defensive side.  In quick succession, Polly Harrison and Hannah Noonan, of Stirling, was able to bypass goal defender Ivy Wakelin and score four goals in the first half.

In the second half, the Hahndorf team changed tactics and swapped some of the positions the girls were playing which paid off with the first and the only goal from Gracie Curtis.  Hahndorf kept up the pressure and had quite a few near misses towards the end of the game but was not able to get past Stirling’s defence.  Despite this, it was a well-matched game, and both teams performed well.
