Match report

At midday on a partly overcast day, Hahndorf U12's kicked off for the first time this season against Woodside.

Joel Bateman broke the ball away early with Cooper Newman and Emlyn Gilroy showing great skills for an early goal shot which unfortunately didn't quite find the net. Persistence paid off and Gilroy scored the first goal.

Hahndorf kept the pressure on with much of the play around the goal square and Hahndorfs defence waiting for some action to come their way.

Another shot at goal by Gilroy, being caught by the goalie. Fast legs and a big kick by Jackson Bidgood stopped Woodsides advancement.

Teamwork was on fire, there were great shows of effort and passing.

Excellent pressure by Sonjae Cook saw a throw in followed by some fancy footwork by Samuel Whitehead.

A long rallying effort, Hahndorfs defence saw the ball not progressing beyond the halfway mark, Louis Moran made a strong attempt at goal.

A sprint to block Woodsides first attempt at goal, defending Bateman and Cook stretched their legs, where the shot was made but it found goalie Caleb Earleys gloves.

From the centre Christopher Haynes' big kick ensured Woodsides goalie was kept busy and then a smashing goal by Newman sent the team into cheer. Moments into the second half saw Gilroys 2nd goal.

A quick attack by Woodside was met by strong hahndorf goalie defence, with the next attempt not so lucky and Woodside scored their first goal.

Recovering quickly, the ball was brought back into Hahndorfs end where Bidgood found the ball and skilfully scored the 4th goal and quickly Earley added to the score with a brilliant goal. Another snap goal by Woodside sees the pressure back on. A big kick by Bateman blindsided the goalie and hit the back of the net for his 2nd goal. Cook made a nice cross also seeing his 2nd goal. An outstanding effort with a Hahndorf victory. Thank you to all involved.
