Match report

It was a sunny afternoon with only the slightest of breezes in Strathalbyn when Hahndorf U14 Girls took on the Strathalbyn Strikers on their home turf.

Strathalbyn started with several quick attacks into their goal area, with several attempts at goal that were held off by the first half Goalie Charlie and the back line defenders Jo Van De Gaer, Isabella Czulki, Zara Tinsley-Smith and Amber Klose. Strath were able to find the back of the net a few times that Hahndorf tried to respond to with great pressure in the forward line lead by Luci Tinsley-Smith, Eloise Cutting and Ruby Tully.

At the 35 minute mark the forward line was able to penetrate the tough opposition and Ruby was able to put one in the back of the net for Hahndorf.

Hahndorf put in a good defence after the half time break with Strathalbyn only being able to score once in the half thanks to some great stoppages by the second half goalie Mika Kelly. There was lots of great play by the mid-field Jade Czulki, Jemma Langford, Amiel Kerber and Esther Van De Gaer who got the ball into the forward line who were unfortunate to not be able to convert their attempts at goal.

Strathalbyn proved to be a tough opposition today and despite the great effort by Hahndorf today, the full-time score was 5 -1. We thank Strathalbyn U14 girls for a great game and look forward to meeting them again this Friday!
