Defensively, Alice Bowles has stepped in well and gone about her work with composure and consistency.
Inter Lions FC showed resilience despite their 5-0 defeat to high-flying SD Raiders FC in last week’s Match of the Round. A bright spot was the work of Ava Papangelis out wide, whose link-up play with Cate Gyzen created their best opportunities.
Alongside her, Heba El Saddik worked tirelessly throughout and continues to lead the Lions’ attacking efforts.
