THE Arsenal Soccer School Bahrain Ladies League is already proving to be more competitive this season as predicted with thrills, spills and shock results as the teams attempt to clinch the coveted GulfWeekly Premiership Trophy.
Arsenal Yellow’s winning streak continues and this time they pummelled defending league champions St Christopher’s Seniors with a stunning 8-4 victory.
Mellow Yellow’s midfielder Sam Turner scored four goals to add to her impressive tally for the season, striker Kia Hanahoe and midfielder Deena Rahman had one goal each together with midfielder Regan McClellan who clinched a brace on her debut for the team.
Two of St Christopher’s goals came from big-kicking goalkeeper Farah Ghaly while midfielder Tamara Kawash and right winger Mille Gallagher both scored a goal each.
Arsenal Red’s had a tough encounter with newcomers Venus ending in a 1-1 draw. A penalty in the first quarter came about after a handball was converted by striker Fatiha Amozlouf for Venus to put the singers in the lead.
With chances created by both sides, it wasn’t until the third quarter that Arsenal managed to equalise following a powerful turn and finish from striker Reema Al Qassab.
In the final game of the evening, Joga Bonito defeated Eastern Flames 2-0, in a game of few chances.
Striker Kholood Al Ghassra converted a penalty and new midfielder Layla Sayed Hussain scored the other goal.
The Flames unfortunately have had to say farewell to their manager Paul Wyatt who is moving back to England. There was a sad farewell at pitchside as he has certainly been an important element of the team’s development over the last couple of seasons.
Earlier this week the Flames played St Christopher’s Seniors, Arsenal Red went up against their Yellow counterparts and Joga Bonito challenged Venus.
