“Jessica Foy leads Glentoran in quest for Women’s Premiership title”
Glentoran’s Women’s Premiership title defense is set to be a thrilling battle as they aim to hold off rivals Cliftonville in the upcoming season. Led by captain Jessica Foy, who has guided the team to three titles in the past four seasons, Glentoran is determined to maintain their dominance in the league.
Foy acknowledges the challenge ahead, recognizing that retaining the title will be no easy feat. With Cliftonville hot on their heels, the pressure is on for Glentoran to deliver consistent performances and stay ahead of their fierce competitors.
“We come into this year as league champions and although winning it last year was a great achievement for us, retaining it will be even more difficult,” said Foy. “We’re the ones that they want to beat, so we need to step up our game and continue to improve.”
The team’s success can be attributed in part to head coach Kim Turner, a former Northern Ireland international and Manchester City player. Foy praises Turner’s dedication and expertise, highlighting her deep connection to the club and her unwavering support for the players.
“Kim is Glentoran through and through,” Foy said. “She brings a wealth of experience and knowledge to the team, and her commitment to our success is truly inspiring. We have full trust in her and the coaching staff she has assembled.”
As the new season kicks off, all eyes will be on Glentoran as they strive to defend their title and cement their status as the team to beat in the Women’s Premiership. With a competitive squad and a determined captain at the helm, the Glens are ready to face whatever challenges come their way and continue their winning streak.
