Match report

It was a lovely sunny morning when Hahndorf U10 White, met Stirling Districts White at the Aldgate Primary School pitch. Both teams struggled with a very wet, soggy ground, but the game was well balanced with some great highlights.

Hahndorf were down to six players and Stirling kindly offered to lend their players, on rotation, ending up in a 7 a side match.

Hahndorf started with Chris Haynes in goals, who did a great job defending. Luca Cannavo and Angus Mifsud worked will in defence along with Liam Sickerdick. They were kept busy covering ground and defending several attempts at goal.  

Hahndorf played a very good first half, fighting for the ball in attack. Players were spread out well over the field resulting in some great passing. Despite 2 or 3 good attempts at goal, it was Stirling leading the game at the end of the first half, with 2 amazing goals from just outside of the box.

In the second half Sickerdick was successful as goal keeper. Mifsud and Oliver Aylen did great work covering and re-launching for their team in defence. Stirling managed to score another goal but Hahndorf countered with goal from Emlyn Gilroy, followed by Mifsud, in what has become his signature move, shooting a spectacular goal from the halfway line.

It was an exciting and well-matched game with great sportsmanship displayed by both teams.
