Match report

The match was off to a quick start with Woodside making the first attempt, well saved by Benjamin Kowald.

This resulted in a quick response from Hahndorf, with Thomas Gould breaking out of the pack, to run through for an attempt at goal, but sadly a miss.

The corner shot from Hahndorf, saw some great passing by Hahndorf that lead to another shot on goals by Connor Ozolins, unfortunately he didn’t convert.

Hahndorf did a great job at defending and intercepting, the next big play came from Ozolins, Cohen Whinfield and Gould, with a run through the middle, some strong passing and Whinfield took this shot for goals and sadly with missed.  Intense pressure from Hahndorf!

The shots on goals continued, but were unfortunately not converted when Simran Singh made a strong pass to Gould who made the next attempt, the Woodside goalie did a great job stopping a strong shot.

Woodside were then able to make a run and shoot for goals, which was strongly defended by the Hahndorf goalie, not letting it through.

Our kick out then saw Ozolins, take strong possession of the ball, running through multiple Woodside players, take a shot on goals that was defended well by Woodside.

The sequence of play was hard fought, with much pressure from both sides, Gould and Josh Petitt combined well for some good passing and team play. Hahndorf taking a number of shots, that were quickly returned out into play by Woodside.   Woodside also managing to take the ball almost to their end, before some strong intercepting saw their run come to an end.

Our first successful goal was just after half time,  made by Whinfield, who was in the clear, took the shot and made the goal!

The half time break saw both teams come out strong, Woodside pushed hard, finding some strong form. Singh managed to get the ball clear, make a run and took a shot with his left foot on goal, unfortunately off target but a great shot with his non-preferred foot.

Another run on of goals followed, Ozolins, shot but missed. Archie Green made a fantastic intercept, passing to Ozolins again who shot but missed by the smallest of margins. Whinfield then took another shot, which was well defended by Woodside.

Teams then experienced some midfield congestion as both teams dug deep to win possession.

Green really shone through again, strong intercept from him, with a pass to Gould, who cleared, ran on, controlled the ball well, took the shot and scored.  A well placed goal.

As time was quickly running out, Hahndorf made their next move with Singh clearing the ball out, passed well to Gould, who again was in the clear, out the back of the pack, he ran on, lined up and kicked his second goal of the match.

Woodside put on a strong effort, the match was hard fought by all players.
