R. Union St-Gilloise

Saturday’s important game for Ladies 1 against Union Saint Gilloise, who were very close in the ranking, got off to a bad start as the referee did not show up. After some discussion, it was decided that Union St Gilloise’s goalkeeper coach would ref the game.

The ladies started the game well, creating a few chances from long balls over the oppositions defense. A ball played across to our winger, who was alone in front of goal, almost put the team ahead, although an unfortunate slip resulted in nothing coming from that. The first half was pretty even, with the teams coming in at 0-0 for half time and an important second half ahead.

However, we didn’t start the second half well, with the opposition creating more chances and even hitting the crossbar once. We did not manage to get close to their goal and were frustrated by the referee’s lack of fair play. Towards the end of game Union St Gilloise got a freekick at the edge of the box from which they scored. FC Irlande Ladies did unfortunalety not have enough time left of the game to respond to this and the score remained at 0-1.

A tough last game of the year for Ladies 1, but we are ready for the second half of the season.
