Match report

Ben Dahmke was back as coach and lead his team, Hahndorf Under 12 White, in their first home game for the season against a strong Stirling Districts side.  

For the first half Reilly Bowden once again took on the job as goal keeper and proved, yet again, how fearless he is in the goal box. In the second half  Reilly joined the attacking lineup and Logan Maxwell had a turn as goal keeper.  Logan demonstrated a gutsy effort, keeping out many shots on goal.   

The solid defensive set-up of Matthew Knight, William Whiting, Oliver Dahmke and Charlie Harvey made it difficult for the opposition to break through. With Matthew and Charlie controlling the Stirling Districts wingers, William and Oliver worked tirelessly in the back line stopping many attempts on goal.

Hahndorf's midfielders Harry Mumford, Julian Hack and Max Oliver displayed clever movement of the ball throughout the game.  Julian and Harry broke through the opposition defenders several times and took several shots at goal.  With the midfielders skilful movement of the ball, the attacking trio of Logan Maxwell, Lucus Leske and Joshua Verryt were given the opportunity to take possession and infiltrate the opposition goal space.  Logan proved solid when he had the ball at his feet, and the Stirling defenders found it hard to take the ball away form him.  Lucus and Joshua used their speed to their advantage and often beat their defenders. 

The attackers had many shots at goal, with Joshua successful in the later part of the second half with a beautiful strike at goal which proved too good for the Stirling Districts goal keeper.  

Despite the end result, the Hahndorf Under 12 White team never gave up and work hard for the full 60mins. The team is growing in confidence, and with the boys getting used to play together their cohesion is becoming very evident.
