Match report

The morning sun had just melted the overnight dew, setting the pitch for perfect conditions, against Mount Barker United Red at Hahndorf. The boys in the Black & White led by Team Captain Hugo Dahmke took to the field ready for a fun and challenging game. The whistle blew and they were off! Paddy Coffey and Jasper Christou made a decisive dash towards the goal square, manoeuvring the ball between them and around the Mount Barker United defence. Christou took the kick aiming for the goals, a fierce and powerful kick but the United Goalie was prepared for the play and kept the ball from entering the goals. Hahndorf continued to keep possession with the play constantly moving up and down the field. Fernando Palma and Michael Griggs in defence were persistent it keeping United away from having attempts at gaols and pushing the ball back into Hahndorf’s attacking half.

Brooklyn Rohde shone as the second half Goalie showing skill in defending the goals and stopping many attempts. Both Hamish Glynn and Carter Hartley were not shy in showing their ball skills, using them to out smart the United team. Backed up by Angus Clifton and Dahmke really put the pressure on United. However, a change of tactics from the opposition took Hahndorf off guard and in-turn successfully converted two attempts at goals. 

Another week where all players learned valuable skills and enriching their love of the game. Saturday is by far the best day of the week!
