City, Cork – With mouth full of hope and plenty vibes!
Cork City women go open their Women’s FAI Cup campaign this Saturday against Peamount United. E go happen for Turner’s Cross by 7pm, as the Rebel Army dey find way brush off their three-match losing streak. Na wetin dem call a serious gisting, abi how we go yarn am?
Frank Kelleher and im girls don suffer small recently. Dem just lose to Galway United for league and Avenir Sports All-Island Cup, plus one more match last weekend wey dey see dem fall 2-1 to Shamrock Rovers inside the Women’s Premier Division for Tallaght Stadium. Omo, no be small wahala!
As dem dey try win this new match, dem fit just dey recover from the last painful match wey dem play. At least, Eva Mangan show say dem fit still score when she pull one back for them in the 76th minute, but e no be enough as dem still no fit get equaliser before the final whistle blow.
Cork City don find themselves as ninth for the league table, thanks to Waterford wey don receive 7-0 beating from Galway. Na so dem say “we thank you for small mercy”, no be?
You fit just imagine how dem dey feel after Shamrock Rovers collect their first victory against them since last year. Na wetin dem call saga! With only four players on the bench, including goalkeeper Una Foyle, na wah for dem o. And our girl Keria Sena, the only senior outfield player, na just 18 years old. Na the future of football we dey talk about here!
Peamount United, on the other hand, no dey struggle like Cork City. Dem dey solid and don show say dem sabi play ball, sitting in seventh place with 13 points after nine games. Dem don win four, draw one, and lose four. And dem dey ready for quarter finals of the All-Island Cup next month as dem don finish second in their group. E be like say dem dey waka on smooth road.
Wetin Cork City need na to position demself well – dem dey eye that second round slot wey dem dey always like to reach. But true talk, e no dey easy to build a strong team, especially wen injuries dey scatter the squad every time. Kelleher don mention say dem dey try different strategies, but e no dey show much for the pitch.
Finally, dis weekend match fit turn out to be a megafight, as both teams go dey try show sey dem fit hack dem way into glory. We go just dey watch as the drama unfold. E go sweet if Cork City fit turn their frown upside down, abi wetin una think?
