Match report

Saturday’s game against the Woodside Warriors saw a blustery early morning start for the yet

undefeated Hahndorf U16 squad. Hahndorf opened strongly with a beautifully placed header by Kyle

Fenlon in the first five minutes that resulted in the ball finding the back of the net. Hahndorf kept the ball down the opposition’s end throughout most

of the first half and attempted numerous crosses, assists, and shots on goal. Fenlon had a number of

further attempts, ably assisted by Xavier Kell and Hayden Abrahams. The mid-field stayed rock solid,

ensuring the ball stayed down the correct end. A second goal by Jackson Doley, coming up from the

mid-field, closed out the half. In the second half, Woodside rallied to gain a bit of ground but

Hahndorf again peppered the opposition’s goal, resulting in two more goals by Fenlon, two by

Edward Hardingham, and one by Kell. Defenders Toby Bockel, Alex Montagu, Oakley Lockyer, and

Josh Rayner made sure the ball kept heading up the right end.  The return to the team of keeper James Bagley meant that the rest of the players could focus on the job in front of them and they showed great stamina and determination throughout the entire game.
