MATCH REPORT – RGHS U19A vs Fairmont HS @ Fairmont – Saturday 4 August
The 1st Team had a great game against Fairmont at Fairmont, beating them 2-0. Both goals were scored quite early in the game by Sharna Naidoo (Gr 12) off a penalty corner and Hannah Schaefer (Gr 11) from a field goal. Defensively, we were good at closing down options and never allowed them to settle into any proper structural game plan. The strikers did a great job at closing down the Fairmont defenders and Hannah Schafer must be singled out as player of the match for her great efforts up front.
