WELCOME

WELCOME BACK TO THE VICTORIA STADIUM AFTER THE THIRD AND FINAL INTERNATIONAL BREAK OF THE YEAR FOR OUR EIGHTH LEAGUE GAME OF THE SEASON AGAINST BRUNO’S MAGPIES HEAD COACH: Victor Afonso ASSISTANT COACH: Daniel Segovia HEAD PHYSIO: Keith Ramirez PHYSIO: Adam Oria GOALKEEPER COACH: Miguel Angel Bazan FITNESS COACH: Daniel Fernandez STRENGTH & CONDITIONING COACH: Liam Mesilio KIT MAN: Jose Manuel Lopez TEAM DELEGATE: Christian Fortuna

Our last game before the break against Europa Point FC saw us add three more points to our tally, making this our sixth consecutive win of the season. Although we dominated the game from the first minute, our opponents were wellorganised and did make life difficult for us until the final whistle.

We also saw another promising young player make their debut with the senior squad as Dylan Borge, who has just turned 16, got some minutes under his belt.

Today we face a Bruno’s Magpies side who sit fourth in the League and with the aspiration of attaining a Europa League spot. Under the new management of experienced coach, Alfonso Cortijo, and with their faithful supporters behind them, they will surely go to try and win the game.

In order to avoid any upset we need to walk on the pitch focussed and concentrated on the task in hand so that we can continue the momentum of our last games to secure the three points.

Yet again some of our International players suffered some knocks during the last two national team games. Whether they are fit to play today remains to be seen as they will be subject to fitness tests.

On the International scene it has not only been a busy few weeks for the senior national Squad but also for the U21s, U19s, U17s and U15s who have also been competing in European qualifiers and development tournaments across Europe.

Unfortunately with not the desired scorelines at times and I think the GFA, in conjunction with clubs, now need to take stock of our performances and consider if we are investing enough in our younger generations.

Due to all the Internationals games, very little activities have occurred in the youth competitive leagues and in the noncompetitive leagues our younger players continue to play week in and week out. In the women’s league, our girls played Lions FC and with a very good performance, walked away with the three points to now give us a six-point lead over Lions FC. With no more International games in the near future, from now until the Christmas break, we look forward to getting back into the routine of regular football in all age categories throughout the club.

MATCH REPORT

LINCOLN RED IMPS 3 EUROPA POINT 0 GIBRALTAR NATIONAL LEAGUE – 03.11.2019

LINCOLN Red Imps made it six successive victories with a 3-0 victory over Europa Point in a game where we were always in control but found ourselves up against wellorganised opponents.

It took us until just past the half-hour mark to break the deadlock when Jamie Coombes was able to break the Europa Point resistance.

Holding a single-goal advantage going into the second period, we managed to add a second goal around the hour-mark through Kike who was able to beat the ‘keeper.

Kike was on target again with his second goal of the game to make the points safe in the 78th minute before making way for Dylan Borge, who made his senior debut for the club at the age of just 16.

It was a performance full of character and determination where we stuck to our task in hand.

WOMEN SECURE WIN AS ROBBA PICKS UP INJURY…

EARLIER this month our women’s team took on Lions Gibraltar FC for the second time this season.

With yet another very good performance from our girls, a 4-2 win consolidates us at the top of the league with six points clear of Lions and nine from Europa FC.

around and controlling the game.

Opportunities continued to be created at both ends of the pitch but it was our girls through Vanessa Fernandez Morente in the 68th and then Naomi Victor in the 73rd minute that increased the gap to 4-1 before again Kayleigh Ferro found the net for our opponents as the clock ticked down.

As expected, when we face Lions Gibraltar FC, we saw a very balanced and hard-fought game with both teams trying to impose their tempo on the game.

It was our girls through Laura Cortes Minan who found the back of the net twice within the first 17 minutes of the game. In all fairness to Lions FC, they did not throw in the towel and within three minutes Kayleigh Ferro pulled a goal back for them.

Despite both teams creating further opportunities in the first half, we went into the break with the 2-1 advantage.

The second half saw our girls put on a better performance, moving the ball

Although there were plenty of positives, there was a sour moment late on when Shania Robba went down with what appeared to be a serious knee injury. Fortunately, subsequent test has shown that the injury is not as serious as first feared and slowly but surely, she is on the road to recovery and should be back in action soon.

THEVERDICT DANIEL SEGOVIA

ASSISTANT COACH ASSESSES OUR LATEST VICTORY…

WE ARE pleased to get back into action this week against Bruno’s Magpies.

Our last game against Europa Point turned out to be as expected with a well-organised opponent who was not going to allow us to display our qualities and strength. Although we dominated the game and had a very high percentage of possession, together with a very good performance from their ‘keeper, they kept all their lines tightly together making it very difficult for us to penetrate their back-line.

A goal from Jamie Coombes just after the half-hour mark helped us settle down and be more patient when it came to moving the ball around.

A number of tactical changes at half-time saw the team play better football in the entire second half and two goals from Kike, in the 58th and 78th minute, saw us walk away with a good performance and more importantly the three points.

Once again, we gave opportunities to our young guns, the like of Craig Galliano and Julian Del Rio got game-time together with Dylan Borge, who made his first-team debut

having only recently turned 16 years of age. Today we face another difficult opponent; a team who wants to prosper in the top-flight of local football and is fighting hard for a spot in the UEFA Europa League. They are a very physical team who we are sure will not allow us to have many touches on the ball and will attempt to stop our flow of play at every opportunity.

With a very resourceful new Head Coach, Alfonso Cortijo, they will be tough opponents and we will definitely need to be concentrated and focussed throughout the game because if we fail to do this, Bruno’s have the ability to punish our mistakes.

Although we almost have a full squad available for today’s game, last minute tests will be required on our international players to determine whether they will play or if it is more prudent to rest them this weekend.

Thank you for your support – enjoy the game…
