Women's Team register first victory

by Ayrton Galea - 27th September 2016

Birkirkara FC Women's Team registered the first victory in the BOV Women's First Division League when a brace by Kelly Agius Pace and a goal each by Tracy Teuma and Gabriella Zahra handed them a satisfactory 4-0 victory over Kirkop United FC.

The Stripes surged ahead after twenty-six minutes when Tracy Teuma won possession outside the Kirkop box and hit past goalkeeper Dorianne Grech with a low shot from the right. This was the first goal for the former Raiders player in the league competition with our Club.

Birkirkara made them two ten minutes from half-time. Gabriella Zahra slided full stretch to keep the ball in play and sent a low cross which was short-cleared. The loose ball fell to Kelly Agius Pace who hit a powerful drive from inside the box past Grech.

Following the break, the Stripes remained in control and they made them on the hour mark. Kim Parnis served Gabriella Zahra who controlled the ball outside the box and struck a wonderful left-footed shot in the left top corner which gave goalkeeper Grech no chance.

Kelly Agius Pace was unlucky not to make them four on the seventy-seventh minute when off another loose, the Birkirkara forward hit a fierce drive from inside the box which smashed against the crossbar as the Stripes remained in command.

However, the forward was not denied from her second goal in the game two minutes from time. She beat the offside trap to dash forward and hit a low placed shot from inside the box to add further gloss on the first victory of the league.

The Stripes will face Raiders in the next fixture of the BOV Women's First Division League. The match will be played on Tuesday, 18 October at the Charles Abela Stadium and it will kick off at 20:15.
