Following a hard-fought season opener, the Old Georgians Ladies 1XI are gearing up for their second match of the season as they head to Polo Farm, Canterbury, to take on Canterbury Ladies 1XI. The match will take place on Saturday, 28th September, at 14:15 on Pitch 1.
This will be the first time the two teams meet in the National League, and both sides will be eager to secure their first win of the season. Canterbury, who lost 3-0 to Teddington last weekend, will be looking to bounce back on home turf. Meanwhile, OGs will aim to build on their opening match as they continue to adapt to the new systems introduced by Leigh Maasdorp and Leah Wilkinson.
One of the standout storylines for this fixture is the return of OGs player Nikki Lloyd to her former club, where she enjoyed great success, including winning the English League title in 2014 and competing in Europe. Now a key player for Old Georgians, Lloyd is excited about the match and the opportunity to face her old teammates once again.
Nikki Lloyd shared her thoughts ahead of the match:
"I'm really looking forward to tomorrow's game. We had some really good moments last week, and will look to build on the new structure that Leigh and Leah have implemented and hopefully come away with all three points. It's always exciting going back to Canterbury, where I won the league title and played in Europe, especially when I get to line up against my old teammates."
Old Georgians will look to bounce back after last week's tough opener and find their rhythm against Canterbury. With the team still adapting to new strategies and fresh leadership, the upcoming game provides a key opportunity to showcase their progress and push for their first win of the season.
