Lady Devils “up for the challenge” of Boomers

WANGARATTA City’s senior women’s squad is back to full fitness and eager to prove themselves against one of the best teams in the competition. The Lady Devils were forced to forfeit last weekend’s division one women’s match, due to a lack of available players with illness, injury, and general unavailability. Now, they’re fit and firing, and ready to test themselves against the third-placed Boomers. “We are up for the challenge,” senior women’s coach Raul Pahina said. “We are finally back to full strength, with the return of Angelica Pahina this week in goals, and all sicknesses have been recovered from. “The group is super eager to get the pitch this week, and coming off an 8-0 loss last time we played them, we have a lot to prove and a big game ahead. “Boomers have one of the strongest midfields in the league, so we need to clog that space and force them out wide. “We have grown a lot since last time we played them, we play a lot cleaner football and our backline is ready for the challenge.” Wangaratta City takes on Boomers FC this Sunday, 29 June at South Wangaratta, with the senior women on the park from 11.20am. The senior men will sit the weekend out with the scheduled bye, alongside Wodonga Heart.
