Match report

While many woke up to rain by the time the team met at Anembo Park the rain had stopped. The clouds were grey but the teams spirit certainly wasn’t.

The players from both teams got into action quickly after the first kick off. The ball was heading to Mt Barkers end when Pepe Zahra made a good save. Copper Liddle sprang into action and ran the ball down closer to Hahndorfs end however Mt Barker were able to reverse that.

In fast action Mt Barker had two quick attempts on goal with Hahndorfs goalie, Blane Balcom, managing the save both times. He was unlucky when shortly after Mt Barker snuck in a sneaky goal for the first of the game.

Liddle had control of the ball and passed to Toby Perkins for a shot on goal but he wasn’t able to convert to a score. The ball reached Mt Barkers end with a solid goal being slotted through.

Half time saw the team fuel up on Oranges and with some further direction and encouragement from the coach they were ready for the second half.

Zack Schwarz kicked the ball out from centre finding Liam Sickerdick and with some quick footwork and team effort they were looking for their first goal. Perkins had an attempt on goal but Mt Barkers goalie was able to make the save.

Joash Ng and Luca Cannavo put some good pressure on Mt Barker to keep the ball in play for Hahndorf.

Jett Zahra was kept busy in goals making some good saves. Mt Barker got one last ball through for the final result Hahndorf 0 – Mt Barker 3. Thank you to Zoe York and Oliver Dahmke for filling in for our team and doing a great job. Well done to all players and thank you to the umpire.
