Falcons LFC

10 YEARS OF FALCONS LADIES FOOTBALL CLUB

Today we celebrate 10 years of community football development, growth, and sisterhood.

As the largest girls-only football club in the Cape Winelands, we are grateful to every sponsor, donor, parent, pioneer, coach, volunteer, and supporter who has been part of our journey.

To every player, past and present; thank you. This club is built on your passion, commitment, and love for the beautiful game.

The odds have often been stacked against us, and resources have sometimes been limited, but our mission has never changed: to develop young ladies through football and build a strong sisterhood that lasts beyond the pitch.

10 years down. Still growing. Still developing. Still soaring.

TRUST & BELIEVE!!!

This is only the beginning...

What a Derby it was. Nietvoorbij is one of the first female soccer teams in Stellenbosch. This battle will and has always been personal.

Nietvoorbij took the first shot at goal and manage to beat our goalkeeper with the power of the wind behind the ball.

Michelle got us on the scoreboard with some great interplay from the midfield.

HT: 1-1

Second half we dominated with high press and ensured that we kept the ball most of the time. It was in the 70th minute of the game where everyone (players and spectators) said; "Holy hell" when took a bullet of a shot from the midfield and secured our second goal.

In our defence kept their lead striker well entertained and ensured that the defensive wall is solid.

Our coach said; "...It was not our best performance, but a win is a win. We need to be more clinical in front of goal and dominate on their mistakes. One match at a time that is all we need, but I am super proud..."

FT: 2-1

Well done ladies!!!

This Saturday it is the Battle of the Turf. The old enemy, Nietvoorbij United will welcome us to their battle field with all cylinders blazing. Nietvoorbij United suffered a 1-0 defeat against Franschhoek Spurs FC over the weekend and will certainly look to gain maximum points against us.

The last time we faced off against each other the battle field was left 2-2 and prior to that we took it all with a 3-1 win.

How will this weekend end?

Every battle is real
Every battle is personal
Every battle is worth fighting

This one is no other.

What a lekker night we had out at . Thank you for hosting us.

Maties Ladies took the lead within the first 10 minutes of the first half, from a well timed kick from the middle of the park.

We were then rewarded a penalty a few minutes later and Michelle Meiring made sure that we grab the opportunity.

Throughout the first half both teams played end to end football but the goalies kept the match under control.

The second half was a battle for both teams. Neither could score and the frustration started. Some risky tackles on both sides resulted in free kicks in dangerous areas, yet again the goalkeepers came to the rescue.

We were not clinical at all. We played a very glumpsy game, which was not our style. With a few notes from the dugout we managed to break the stubborn defense of Maties down, as Michelle went for her second of the evening. Our third goal came due to miscommunication in the Maties defense and Vaneshree Meiring got it in to make the score 3.

Yes, we might have won the match but there are plenty to learn and work on.

Thank you Coach Boebie for the post match tips.

Now onto the next battle; Falcons LFC vs Nietvoorbij United next week Saturday 20 May 2023 at 2pm.

Today we welcomed Power Cosmos FC from Paarl to The Fortress at Cloetesville.

Seeing that we don't know anything about Cosmos, we played the ball around for the first few minutes to see how they will attack and play. It was a quick examination of their strategy and we opened our account.
During the first half we found the back of the net 9 times, but 2 of it was offside .

The half-time ended 7-0

Goals scored by:

(4) - Michelle
(1) - Fazlin
(1) - Anouschka
(1) - Shareldene

The second half we made some rotational changes and changed the shape of the game a bit.

The opposition decided to play a very defensive game, but it was not counting in their favour as they got tired holding onto the ball.

During the second half we got the ball pass the goal line 8 times, but 3 goals we ruled offside. The second half gave us 5 glorious goals.

Goals scored by:

(2) - Michelle
(1) - Vaneshree
(1) - Shareldene
(1) - Farenique

Full time score:

12 - 0

Queen of the match:
Michelle Meiring









This we turn our attention to the DERBY away against Regional Women's Soccer League Team.

Only one can claim to be maroon. Will it Maties or us.

Match kick off at 19:00 on Friday 12 May 2023 at Lentelus.
