After five rounds of the 2025/26 Malta Guinness Women’s Premier League, Ladystrikers FC sit 7th on the league table with 6 points, balancing 2 wins, 3 defeats, 5 goals scored and 5 conceded, a competitive start that reflects both resilience and clear progress on the pitch.
With three wins in six matches across all competitions, including a dominant 4–0 FA Cup victory over BIS-Paradise Ladies, the team’s upward trajectory has been supported by strengthened structures, improved squad depth, and the strategic backing of key partners who joined ahead of the season; SamBoad Business Group Ltd, LeoCay Media, Sanford Health Clinics, and World Shoe.
Their inclusion has bolstered the club’s operational, data and media, and welfare systems, contributing to a more professional and performance-driven Ladystrikers.
A Season of Steady Growth: Match-by-Match Performance Review
Ladystrikers’ league journey so far has been defined by competitive intensity, narrow margins, and standout individual performances.
Matchday 1: FC Samartex Ladies 2–1 Ladystrikers FC
A tough away opener at the Nsenkyire Sports Arena. Ladystrikers showed glimpses of promise but fell 2–1 after early pressure from Samartex. A second-half penalty made the difference despite a spirited finish.
Matchday 2: Ladystrikers FC 2–1 Oak Ladies FC
The first win of the season — and one filled with character. Captain Ellen Gai delivered a brilliant brace and dominated midfield play. The team dictated tempo and showed strong attacking chemistry.
Matchday 3: Hasaacas Ladies FC 1–0 Ladystrikers FC
Away trips to Hasaacas are notoriously difficult, but Ladystrikers pushed the giants to the wire.
A dramatic 90+7 minute penalty separated the sides after a disciplined, tactical display.
Matchday 4: Ladystrikers FC 0–1 Jonina Ladies FC
A painful but competitive contest at home. Agnes Azasi’s 75th-minute strike marked Ladystrikers’ first home loss of the season.
Matchday 5: Ladystrikers FC 2–0 Halifax Queens FC
A convincing and much-needed response. Midfielder Edem Atovor scored both goals (20’, 72’), while defender Deborah Amponsah delivered a near-perfect performance to claim MVP, leading the backline to a clean sheet.
FA Cup Success Reinforces Team Confidence

On the team so far, head coach Stephen Ampah said: “We are improving, and the numbers prove it.”
“We are not where we want to be yet, but we are clearly moving in the right direction.”
The numbers reflect progress, balanced goal record, two strong wins, and a clean sheet in our last match. Our away performances have improved, and the FA Cup win also shows our attacking strength.
“We will keep correcting the small details, and this team will only get better.”
Sporting Director Sanogo Daouda Kouakou emphasized the importance of the club’s strengthened foundation: “The arrival of partners like SamBoad, LeoCay Media, Sanford Health Clinics, and World Shoe has transformed our preparation and operations.

With the league’s parity this season, a strong run of form could propel Ladystrikers into the top four conversation as early as the midseason point.
For now, the numbers show progress — and the football on the pitch shows even more.
