Girls Under-17's lose to Tarxien Rainbows

by Ayrton Galea - 4th December 2016

Birkirkara FC Girls Under-17's Team suffered their second consecutive defeat in the Girls League Under-17's League when they were beaten by Tarxien Rainbows with a 5-1 score.

Kailey Willis proved the be the biggest difference between the two teams as the Tarxien Rainbows impressive forward scored all five goals for the Rainbows. She scored a quick-fire brace in the opening six minutes with shots from inside the box. However, Veronique Mifsud had pulled one-back moments after with a typical action from the towering offensive midfielder after she had dribbled past her marker and hit home a low shot.

In the second half, the technical Willis completed her hat-trick with a well-placed shot at the back of the net while added two late goals thanks to a direct free-kick and a close-range shot to add further gloss on her team's victory.

Birkirkara FC will start hot favourites next Thursday to return to winning ways when they take on bottom-placed Fgura United FC.

BIRKIRKARA: Britney Debono (36' Anthea Enriquez), Sarah Cassar (58' Nicole Borg), Nicole Zammit, Mariah Cardona, Maria Fenech, Samantha Zarb, Sarah Urpani, Veronique Mifsud, Jessica Farrugia Cross (63' Daniela Yousif).

Yellow Cards: 17' Maria Fenech.

Scorers: 8' Veronique Mifsud (Birkirkara), 3', 6', 53', 65', 68' Kailey Willis (Tarxien Rainbows).
