It’s been a tough week for the Riga United Ladies. They
firstly travelled to Rēzekne last Sunday only to come away with a
point. Now they play two games in 3 days as they first
face defending champions RFS on Thursday night. With
the kick off at 19:30.
Riga United will be looking to repeat the tough game they gave them
last month, despite losing 5-3, Riga gave it all they had and
managed to get the game from 4-1 to 4-3 at one point. This will be
in the minds of manager Walley and the team. As Justin Walley
pointed out “I think it is going to be tough against RFS. We gave
them a bloody nose last time so they won't be underestimating us
this time”.
However, he went on to mention the necessity for clinical after
reflecting on the game from Sunday “"We were extremely frustrated
that we didn't pick up the three points we deserved at the weekend
but ultimately that was down to us. Yes, we hit the underside of
the bar twice but when you create more than a dozen good chances in
a game, you have to finish a team off”
Riga United will take their first points off RFS, should they get
something on Thursday night.
Team News:
Goalkeeper Amanda Palmer is not available after making her debut at
the weekend. Sadly, Norwegian Pia Foosnaes is also unavailable.
Leonie Kohlsaat has failed to recover from the injury she picked up
against Optimists Rēzekne. However, Tami Berish looks set to return
after picking up an injury which ruled her out for one game. United
do, however, name a 17-player squad for this one.
Danish playerLea Lauridsen isstill out and won't be back for
another month after her injury received in the opening game of the
season.
Justin Walley was disappointed not to have Pia Foosnaes, however,
he remained slightly optimistic about his squad. “It is a big loss
not having Pia available but we have a very good group of players."
