Match report

Beautiful morning at Hahndorf home ground for round 11 of the 2020 season. The Hahndorf white team has shown great progress with their working together skills during the game and stand on top of the table for this season. Today's game started 8:30am between Hahndorf and Woodside with Hahndorf sporting a full team and sharing a player with the Woodside team who were short.  

Both team started really well for the first half of the game Cohen Whinfield showing some strong play in the midfield. Thomas Gould kicked first shot towards to goal but defensive goal keeper saved it very well from Woodside. Hahndorf kept the ball in Woodside's half of the ground for most of the first half with Josh Petitt kicking the ball to goal a number of time, but with no success. Hahndorf got the first corner shot but couldn’t convert into a goal. Passes between players from both teams have been great. Woodside crept in Hahndorf's half for their first kick by number 12 at goal but great save by Simran Singh kept the score nil all. Archie Greene hit the ground running after starting off first sub, with great footwork to take the ball near goal, but another unsuccessful shot at goal. Hahndorf dominated the 1st half but the scores are still nil all.  Benjamin Kowald showed some real improvement this week with some clear passes and great defensive efforts, Tyson Bancroft and Jamie Timmins both taking turns to move the ball down towards the Hahndorf scoring end.  Connor Ozolins returning from illness played a strong game, defending out goal well in the second half in his turn as keeper.

Half time and a break for for oranges.

Hahndorf started the second half strong and within the first 2 mins approached the goal with great passes between boys.  Gould lines up and kicks into goal again but another great save by the Woodside goal keeper kept him scoreless. Finally Hahndorf managed to convert off a great kick by Gould for their first goal. The Woodside team comeback straightaway with some strong offence and kick their first goal past the Hahndorf keeper to level the score one all. 

As the game heads into the final stages Gould scores his second and third goals and Petitt boots one past the goalie for his first goal of the game. Hahndorf took aim with three back to back corners but couldn't covert into more goals. 

Great competitive game from both teams.  Thank you to Bancroft, Kowald, Greene and Timmins for great sportsmanship in taking turns filling in for Woodside.
