U16 Div 2

South Hobart White came within a whisker of winning their first game on the weekend.

The first half was very tight. Jason in goals was rock solid. Nico controlled the midfield, Alex Johnson wore his player like a glove and

Timmy was a dynamo down the wing. The breakthrough came late in the half when Chris Wright managed to get free in the box to score.

In the second half it remained tight. Kingborough scored to level and then Conor Castles -Lynch slammed in a strike from outside the box into the top corner of the net to give South Hobart the lead. In the dying seconds of the game Kingborough equalised, despite the Kingborough linesman flagging offside, the referee over ruled him allowing the goal to stand. Great game by everyone.

South Hobart White U/16 Vs Nelson McKillop

On May 8 South Hobart U/16 played Nelson McKillop at Wellesley Park.  The first half saw a tight opening with Nico Reeve and Sven Doedens making searching forays into the Nelson McKillop forward line.  But quick goals to Nelson McKillop saw them surge quickly to a 3-0 lead.  It looked like South Hobart were in serious trouble but the boys regrouped.  Angus Oakford marshalled the defence and we attacked constantly in the dying moments of the first half with a shot from Angus Turner hitting the cross bar from a long way out then Nico made a great run forward and goaled.  Half time saw us still 3-1 down but on the attack.

Week Two of the SHFC Youth games was another great weekends effort by all with Team South playing great football around the city of Hobart. Results for the weekend were:

The first week of the Youth Roster was an excellent start to the SHFC season. Well done to all the boys, parents and coaching staff.
