Match report

Saturday 25th July 2020.  U13 girls Mt Barker United vs Hahndorf.  Anembo Park.  Hahndorf 4 d Mt Barker 2.

Sun was shining, pitch was dry. Hahndorf came out strong with Gracie Curtis kicking the first goal in the opening minutes. 

Hahndorf moved the ball well up the wing creating opportunities for shots at goal. An evenly matched game with lots of to-ing and fro-ing from both sides.  Both sides fighting hard in defence until Jade Czukli of Hahndorf broke through the defence line scoring Hahndorf’s second goal.  Followed closely after with Eloise Cutting scoring the 3rd for Hahndorf.  Lucy McAvaney from Mt Barker United managed to break through Hahndorf’s defence with a goal attempt, thwarted by Hahndorf’s Charlotte Fairley.  Another Hahndorf shot at goal by Gracie Curtis from quite a distance, narrowly missing scoring and sailing over the top of the goal. 

After half time oranges, Mt Barker took an aggressive stance on the field.  Their next attempt at goal by Lucy McAvaney, once again stopped by Keeper Charlotte Fairley with a massive stretch. Lots of back and forth left neither side with any score, United’s Maeve McAvaney protecting the goal with fierce determination.  Eventually Hahndorf’s Jade Czukli finding the back of the net past Maeve’s solid defence.

Fast legs and determination by Lucy McAvaney pushed the ball to United’s forward line with Lucy scoring United’s first goal of the match. Sienna Dengler’s concerted effort once again breaking through Hahndorf’s defence scoring United’s second goal. Hahndorf’s Eloise Cutting had another attempt at goal before the final whistle, but to no avail, finalising the game score at 4-2. Hahndorf’s Grace Haynes backed up a good game in defence and Maeve McAvaney deserves a mention at taking on a role no one seemed to want and stopping many attempts.
