Match report

The rain held off and the sun came out for the last round of the season, where Hahndorf Under 10 White met Woodside Red at Pine Avenue.

Lawson Shotton, Billy Cook and Harry Wood started the match in the forward.  Jensen Ingram, Daniel Peters and Eddie Bjordal took up position in the back half, whilst Thomas Stapleton guarded the goals.  Woodside started strong, having several attempts at goal, but Stapleton was able to block these attempts and maintained the 0-0 score line.  Ingram performed a number of critical intercepts in the backline to push the ball into Hahndorf’s forward line.  Lawson had a number of shots at goal, but the ball was unable to find the back of the net.

A rotation with the bench saw Joel Bateman take up position in the forward.  He immediately made an impact with some excellent running with the ball through the Woodside defence to convert a shot at goal.

In the second half, Peters moved into the goals, and despite numerous attempts at goal by a strong Woodside team, he ably defended each attempt.  Woodside continued to keep the pressure on, but the defence of Cook, Lawson, and Wood held strong.  Wood was able to push the ball forward and had an attempt at goal, but unfortunately was unable to get it past the Woodside goalie.

In the forward, Bjordal was brilliant in his intercepts and quick footwork.  Will Tully and Bjordal had some excellent passing play, with Tully later making a precision pass to Stapleton who then scored the second goal of the match.

The match was arguably one of the tightest fought contests for Hahndorf Under 10 White this season and was a fantastic show of skill by both teams.  Well done to coach Stephen Shotton and the under 10’s team for a strong finish to the 2020 season.
