Women's Team face tricky Kirkop
by Ayrton Galea - 8th December 2015
Birkirkara FC Women's Team will be all-out to extend their winning streak in the BOV Women's First Division League this afternoon but their task is anything than plain-sailing as they will face the tricky test in form of Kirkop United FC.
The Stripes have turned the heat in the last five weeks as they stepped-up their level and undoubtedly are currently playing the best football on the island. They have won all their five last matches and registered high-scoring victories in their last four outings. In fact, the Stripes scored no less than nineteen goals in their last four matches and conceded just two.
During this eye-catching winning streak, the Stripes have defeated Raiders with a narrow 2-1 score before registering four consecutive big victories against Kirkop United with a 5-0 score, Mgarr United with a 5-1 score and Pemberoke Athleta with a 4-0 score. In the last match, the Stripes produced another devastating attacking display that tormented Raiders with a 5-1 score.
With the Stripes beating Kirkop United with a comfortable score in the first-round match, one would predict that today's match will be another walk in the park but Kirkop's recent outings certainly prove otherwise. They picked-up seven points in their last four outings only to get their unbeaten run of three matches coming to an end with a 3-0 defeat against Hibernians. However, Kirkop's performance stole the lime-light as their aggressive approach and bold defensive skills sent a clear statement of the team's potential.
The match will be played at the Luxol Stadium and it is scheduled to kick off at 14:00.
Come on the Stripes!
