Round 7 saw Hahndorf venture up the freeway to play Murray Bridge United at their home ground. The sun shone and spirits were high! Murray Bridge kicked off but the Hahndorf boys soon took possession and Connor Ozolins had two quick shots at goal but it took a few minutes for the team settled in to a rhythm. A throw in by Jackson Bidgood over the opposition to Ashon Broadbent-Shaw who then ran the ball down the pitch slitting the first goal home home. Murray Bridge then gained control and kept goalie Caleb Earley on his toes with a couple of quick attempts. A free shot taken by Ozolins deep in defense set up a great play with Lachlan Gardner crossing in to Lucca Falvo-Lopez and Hahndorf’s second goal. Sol Cootes followed up quickly with a great shot but it wasn’t to be however Gardner followed it up and slotted the third just before half time.

Second half saw Sol Cootes don the goalie gloves and put his hands to good use! Play rarely ventured out of the Hahndorf attack with Zack Perkins having two great shots both hitting the cross bar. Caleb was solid in defense returning any ball that strayed over the halfway line. Broadbent-Shaw with another big run found the back of the net again. Soon it was a contest between Gardner and Bidgood with Bidgoods foot the last to touch the ball before it sailed passed the Murray Bridge goalie again. The Hahndorf boys were on a goal kicking high and just before the final whistle Cohen Whinfield got his chance kicking the ball just out of the goalies reach. Well done Hahndorf, great game!
