SETTINGTHESCENE

WELCOME

WELCOME BACK TO THE VICTORIA STADIUM AFTER THE INTERNATIONAL BREAK FOR OUR FIFTH LEAGUE GAME OF THE SEASON. Today we face Lynx FC, a team that has started has started the season strongly and consolidated themselves at the top of the table. Surely it’s going to be a tough game but if we keep the momentum and performance of our last three games I am confident we can take the three points.

We must also be proud of the senior national team, with seven of our players in the squad, for their performances against Kosovo and Georgia.

As usual this takes a toll on our players and we just hope that they are all fully fit and ready for this demanding and important fixture.

In other areas, our women’s team began their league campaign last Wednesday with a 2–0 win over Lions Gibraltar FC in a hard-fought game. We continue to work hard in this area in conjunction with the GFA in order to continue developing women’s football on The Rock. We are back in action this Wednesday against Europa FC. The youth leagues are also underway and I am happy to say that I managed to see some of the games. It was enjoyable and overall I was impressed with the quality and performance of our teams, with some talented upcoming footballers amongst them.

Our under-23s were also in action during the International break, playing three games against senior teams from the National League; Glacis, Lynx and Bruno Magpies, and although losing the three games, with the average age in the team of just 17 years old, our U23s can surely be proud of their performances.

They returned to league action against Lynx FC U23 last Thursday. With both teams equal on points at the top of the table, and in a hard-fought game, our young boys managed to secure a 1-0 win to remain unbeaten at the top of the table.

The U19 National Team, with four of our players in the squad, were also away in Chinese Taipei at the invitation of UEFA as part of the UEFA Assist Programme. This programme enables UEFA to reach out and assist their developing football nations around the world. Special mention to our 17 year-old player, Julian Del Rio, who managed to score a hat-trick in the first game, making it the first hat-trick any players has ever scored in any national team since joining UEFA. The Under 17 Gibraltar National Squad are in Cyprus this week to compete in the Euro

Qualifiers against the likes of France, Cyprus and Slovakia. With eight Lincoln players in the squad, we wish them all the best of luck – do us proud!

The Gibraltar Women Futsal Squad were also in action a couple of weekends ago in Tangiers, Morocco. With 5 of our players in the squad they lost their first game 3-1, but managed to bounce back with a spectacular performance in their second game with a 6-3 win.

Finally, during the International break our senior, U23 and Technical team attended an Integrity Workshop organised by the Gibraltar Football Association Integrity Unit in conjunction with Sportsradar.

The workshop primary objective was to raise awareness and to educate all those involved in football on the seriousness and consequences of match fixing. In this respect we take this matter very seriously and we shall fully support the GFA in whatever strategy and initiative they formulate to continue steering and preserving local football free from any risk of match fixing. Our view on this matter is that we need to raise awareness and educate players from a very young age that is why we also made in mandatory for our Under-23 Squad to attend the workshops.

DYLAN VIAGAS President We continued to add to our points tally in our last match with another three points against Lions FC. This helped the team close down the gap with our rival title contenders, St. Josephs and Europa, who both dropped two points when they went headto-head with each other in a 2-2 draw.

It was good to see Lee Casciaro return to action in the last game and mark it with a goal, whilst Sergio Molina grabbed yet another hat-trick, his third in a row – a fantastic achievement.

After our opponents pulled a goal back early in the second half, it made us pull our socks up and go on to get another commanding win in the end.

We know that today`s game will be tough against undefeated opponents who have started the season well. With the return of our Gibraltar internationals and some players coming off the injury list, it promises to be a very exciting and intense encounter and one not to be missed.

Where do you see yourself in the next few years: Short term, keep on learning and become a regular in the first-team as well as playing for my country both at U21 and senior level.

My dream, obviously like every young player, is to play professional in a top recognised football team in Europe.

Favourite Food: Jamon Serrano del Bueno (Spanish Ham, the good one) Best Experience in football: At my young age to achieve where I am today and being part of Lincoln senior team it’s a fantastic experience, but to highlight a couple of instances it was my first goal in the senior team against Gibraltar United and a special moment was my hat-trick with Gibraltar National Squad Under-19s in Tapei last month.

Mention a player you admire: Lionel Messi and in the local scene its players like TJay or Lee Casciaro. Just watching them play you simply learn.

Worst experience: At my age I have not really had situation to class it as a very bad experience. There have been a few disappointments, especially when I

What can we expect from Lincoln this season: Hopefully to win the league. Good Performances and quality football.

What can we expect from Lincoln in this game: It`s going to be a tough game. Lynx has started the season very strong and I think that they have a much better team than last season.

MATCH REPORT

LINCOLN RED IMPS 7 LIONS GIBRALTAR 1 GIBRALTAR NATIONAL LEAGUE – 29.09.2019

LINCOLN Red Imps secured another emphatic victory as we hit seven goals against Lions Gibraltar in a 7-1 win.

We opened the scoring on 26 minutes when skipper, Joseph Chipolina, found the net from the penalty spot.

Our advantage was doubled when the in-form Molina got his name on the scoresheet to give us a two-goal lead going into the second period.

Shortly after the restart, our opponents reduced the arrears but Ramon soon made it 3-1 and we were able to further add to our lead through Hernandez.

There was a second goal for Molina with just under 20 minutes to go and he was able to claim his third hat-trick in succession on 86 minutes.

Having returned to the action as a half-time substitute following injury, Lee Casciaro rounded things off right at the death with a goal to make it 7-1.

LINCOLN RED IMPS: Goldwin, J. Chipolina, Lopes, Hernandez (Galliano 73), Gil, Molina, Cataruozzolo (Casciaro 46), Perez (Toscano 66), Coombes, Britto, Ramon. Subs not used: Soler, Thorne-Llambias,, R. Chipolina, Gomes.

MATCH ACTION

YOUNGSTERSSIT PRETTY UNDER-23S GO FROM STRENGTH-TO-STRENGTH IN INTERMEDIATE LEAGUE...

OUR UNDER-23 team continue to sit pretty at the top of the Intermediate League after extending our unbeaten start to the season in the last two games.

We chalked up a 4-0 victory over Hound Dogs towards the end of last month in a game which we controlled for long periods.

There was a hat-trick for Shay Jones, whilst Davan Martin notched our other goal.

We then returned to action last Thursday against fellow high-fliers, Lynx FC, and in a thoroughly entertaining encounter, in which both teams looked to play attacking football, it took a second half strike from young Ellis Wilson to win it.

It means that we have won five League games in a row, a great achievement for our young side who are maintaining some high standards.

THE LINCOLN RED IMPS

GRASSROOTS ACTION UNDERWAY...

ALTHOUGH there was no senior action last week due to the International break, football continued at the Victoria Stadium with the start of the Youth competitions and Women`s football.

In the Non-Competitive Leagues (U5 to U10) our young girls and boys experienced playing in the higher age group for the first time this year and performed remarkably well.

In the competitive youth teams, Lincoln Westmed, our younger players in the U12 category, walked away with a 4-1 win over Europa FC. The older team in the U12, Lincoln Argus, did not play last weekend as they had a bye.

Unfortunately, our Under-14 boys lost their first game of the season against Lions Gibraltar, going down 4-0.

In the Under-16s, Lincoln Argus beat St. Joseph FC 5-1 with a number of feeder players from the U14 team given the opportunity to play with the older boys. Our other U16 team, Lincoln Westmed, did not play last weekend.

Our Under-23s played on Thursday against Lynx FC and walked away with a 1–0 victory to take the top spot in the table with their fifth win in a row. An impressive goal from a cool-headed Ellis Wilson in the 72nd minute gave us the well-deserved three points.

It`s a shame his Dad, Neil, who coincidentally is the Club Photographer, missed the game due to other work commitments because it was a goal worthy to be pictured and framed.

Our Women`s team were also in action last week for their first game of the season against Lions Gibraltar FC. With a solid performance in the second half and goals from Sheralyn Orfila in the 53rd minute and Shania Robba in the 70th minute, our women walked away with a worthy three points.

Special mention to Ellen Dixon (age 15) and Julia Yeo (age 12), two young girls who played their first ever competitive football game.

LYNX FC – THE SEASON SO FAR LYNX FC boss, Alberto Parody, gives us his verdict of the season so far for his side.

“I am very happy with my club,” he said. “We have our youth academy with many age groups, we have the futsal team which started very well earlier in the week winning the Luisito Bonavia Cup, and the National League team has also started very well.

“I am confident with the team we have got; we have been working hard in training and morale is up. We now have to face the big three in the League. We have beaten teams like Bruno’s Magpies, who have made big investment, and also Mons Calpe.

“We are confident and hope for the best. Football is not just about kicking a ball, you also have to have passion, work hard, but also have a bit of luck.

“We feel positive that we can get a good result.”
