Strabane Ladies in title-deciding game

HAVING already secured promotion, Strabane Athletic Ladies will now go in search of the league title.

Athletic sit at the summit of Division Three of the Northern Ireland Women's Football Association (NIWFA) Electric Ireland league, two points clear of Craigavon City Ladies.

The team has already achieved promotion to Division Two and all eyes will now be on the silverware to complete a remarkable league season.

They will take on 22nd Ladies tonight (Wednesday) in their final league game of the season knowing that a point will be enough for them to be crowned champions of the division.

Their form certainly suggests that Strabane already has one hand on the trophy following a remarkable run of form which has seen them score a combined 27 goals in their last three league outings.

They defeated Banbridge 6-1, Dromara Village 12-0 and Moneyslane 9-0.

And the prospect of lifting the torphy has been made all the sweeter by the fact that Strabane are taking on their next opponents on home turf at Melvin Sports Complex.

Meanwhile, Strabane also has the League Cup final to contend against Craigavon City Ladies.

The game is taking place on Friday, August 25 at Mid Ulster Sports Arena, Cookstown.

Kick-off is scheduled for 7.30pm.

"It is exciting times for the team," a club spokesperson said.
