Match Report U13G — Hawks 4-0 Mount Barker ⚽

Sunday 23rd August 2026

Clear skies and warm sunshine greeted the Hawks U13 Girls for their penultimate match of the season at the Mt Barker Summit.

The girls began the game just as they had finished last week, focusing on controlling possession and continuing to develop the habits that will serve them well in future seasons.

Ruby and Bella started in midfield and quickly found their rhythm, moving the ball with quick, accurate passing. Charlotte worked tirelessly at right back and combined well with Tamika on the wing as the Hawks looked to build attacks down the flank.

Up front, Sophie applied constant pressure in search of an early opportunity, but Mt Barker defended resolutely with plenty of players behind the ball. The Hawks came close from a corner kick, with the ball catching a flying boot before drifting just wide of the goal.

When Mt Barker did gain possession, they found it difficult to break through the Hawks' well-organised structure. Lilly and Pearl stopped attacks confidently at the back, showing composure on the ball and making smart passing decisions. Forced into playing longer balls, Mt Barker found Addie in excellent form, as she controlled her penalty area and comfortably dealt with any errant passes.

By halftime, neither side had managed to score, but the Hawks girls were confident after controlling much of the game and felt that more opportunities would come.

The second half began with the Hawks immediately on the attack. Amelie and Nia combined with some sharp passing before finding Morgana on the right wing. Morgana controlled the ball beautifully and drove towards the goal line, where a collision with a Mt Barker player halted play for several minutes while the injured player received assistance.

Shortly after, a desperate scramble unfolded in front of goal as Lilly struck towards the net, only for the Mt Barker goalkeeper to make a remarkable save and prevent the ball from fully crossing the line.

The save appeared to lift Mt Barker, who quickly moved the ball forward and earned a corner kick. However, the Hawks defended strongly before launching another attack. A handball from Mt Barker fell kindly to Lilly, who calmly dribbled forward and converted under the advantage rule to open the scoring.

The Hawks continued to press, and a sensational pass from Morgana released Lilly into space. Lilly made no mistake, coolly nutmegging the goalkeeper with her left foot to double the lead.

It wasn't long before Lilly completed her hat-trick. Following some excellent combination play and multiple passes with Ruby, she finished confidently into the back of the net.

Bella, who had worked tirelessly all game despite carrying a bruised knee from an earlier challenge, capped off her performance by calmly slotting home a late right-footed goal to seal a convincing 4-0 victory.

Congratulations to all the players, who continue to show great improvement in controlling possession, choosing the first option, and working hard to support one another.

Their commitment to playing as a team is evident every week and bodes well for the future.

U13G Hawks vs Sturt Lions — Match Report ⚽

Sunday 16th August 2026

First Half:
A tough, tight start with no substitutes available for the Hawks. Mya was busy early, winning a corner and combining well with the midfield, who strung together some great passing through the middle of the pitch. The wind made throw-ins tricky all half.

The breakthrough came when Mya scored, well set up by Morgana and Amelie. Mya also had a free kick chance, and the Hawks enjoyed plenty of possession in the forward third. Amelie won another corner but it was well saved by the Sturt Lions' goalkeeper.

The team continued moving the ball well between each other. Sturt Lions pushed forward and tested Addi in goals, who produced a great save in a one-on-one contest to keep the clean sheet.

Amelie's second corner of the half also came to nothing, and Mya and Morgana combined again for a promising chance that just didn't result in a goal. Half Time: Hawks 1–0.

Second Half:
Mya kept up the pressure early, rattling the crossbar with a big shot. Lilly was strong and physical in the back line, helping keep the Sturt Lions attack at bay.

The second goal was a scrappy one — Mya fired a shot in, the goalkeeper made the save but lost sight of the loose ball, and Bella pounced to clean it up into the back of the net.

Morgana then produced a great cross into the box, which deflected off a Sturt Lions defender and into the net for the third goal. A pinball-style scramble involving both teams followed late on before the final whistle.

Final Score: Hawks 3 – 0 Sturt Lions 🦅

Also, thanks to Sophie for coming out to support her team despite being unable to play!

What a way to finish the regular season for the U18s!

That result extends our unbeaten run to 13 games, 11 of them wins, a phenomenal effort from the boys, especially considering every player in our squad is playing up an age group.

Now it’s on to the finals with plenty of momentum and confidence behind us.

Well done, boys.
