Round 7 – 1st June – Hahndorf v Strathalbyn

Perfect playing conditions greeted the team and spectators as Hahndorf travelled

south to play Strathalbyn Under9 White at Strathalbyn. After winning the toss,

Hahndorf elected to kick to the northern-end of the pitch.

Hahndorf showed some promising early signs with a strong attempt on goal by Billy

Cook, followed by further attempts from Jensen Ingram and Joel Bateman.

However, Strathalbyn’s defence was solid and finding the back of the net proved

elusive. Hahndorf’s defence was also proving strong, with Bodhi Potezny making a

number of skilful saves in front of the nets, well supported by Pearl Rooney, Amber

Abrahams and Edward Mardle. With strong defence from both teams, and great

competitive play, the scene was set for a thrilling second half.

After the half-time break, the game resumed with Will Tully making a strong impact in

defence. The ball made its way to the Hahndorf forward for much of the last half,

with a number of attempts at goal being blocked by Strathalbyn. Quick and accurate

throw-ins by the team enabled Hahndorf to keep the ball in their forward. With only a

minute of play left, a skilful passage of play by Hahndorf resulted in Harry Wood

securing the only goal of the match.

Well done to all players and the coaching team on a well-played match.
