R. Union St-Gilloise B

Last Saturday evening, FC Irlande Ladies 2 faced R. Union St. Gilloise at a home game. FC Irlande comes to the game being expected to have the upper hand, since they hold a position slightly above R. Union in the league, and won their previous game against R. Union 1-4. However, the ladies were aware that this was not going to be an easy game.

The first half, despite FCI dominating in possession of the ball throughout the half, ended 1-2. The opposition scored two free-kicks from the same position, at minutes 20 and 43.

To make the score 1-2, after a rough collision with the R. Union goalkeeper and Lotta, Parker scored an amazing on the ground free-kick at minute 36. (Special thanks to Parker for helping out again)

The ladies came on to the second half strong.
Violette dribbled through to make the score tied at minute 71. Not long after, at minute 81, Lily scored a beautiful header from a corner-kick. FCI kept giving their all, with high morale, and a good team spirit. The ladies were able to keep up this good effort until the end, making the final score 3-2. The whole team can truly be proud of their achievement.

And to keep up the tradition of literary excellence on these match reports, I will end this match report on a little poem:
Roses are red, violets are blue, FCI Irlande won this time too!

What a beautiful day to be wearing green. The sun was shining, quite strongly for Belgian standards, but Ladies 2 was ready to embark on their first game of the season.

Union Saint Gilloise had moved up from P2 and gave all their might the second the game started, but FC Ireland showed a deeper strength that brought them a glorious victory.
