Match Report:

The boys couldn’t have asked for a nicer day to take on the Rangers at Ashton Oval this morning. They got off to a solid start and dominated possession during the entire first half. Noah had a few powerful shots on goal which easily would have gone in had the goals been a little bigger 😉. The boys were protecting the ball well and were all putting in a stellar effort.

During half time, coach Brendan encouraged the boys to work on their communication and to avoid standing still when their teammates are throwing in a ball from the sideline. He complimented the boys for spreading out and making opportunities for each other, and for getting more confident in dribbling the ball up the field.

I’m not sure what the Rangers added to their fruit, but after the break they started off strong! Three early attempts on goal were very well defended, yet their fourth landed the one and only goal for the match. The boys held them back during the remainder of the game and had a few great runs of their own. Apparently, Hahndorf took a much bigger hit from the Rangers last year, yet this year it was an entirely different story! The boys should be very proud of their efforts and are showing much growth as a team.
