Lily Owsley: “My dream is to play other playoffs”

The Olympic medalist with England in 2016 and 2021 played again with the Vicente López club, and on Sunday he played the televised against San Lorenzo. Banco Provincia began losing 1 to 0 but turned it and won 3 to 2, with a goal from Lily Owley, her second with that shirt. “I am proud of my team, of the victory we achieved,” commented. Coincidentally, his first goal was also against Cuervo, in the 2024 season.

It is the second season that Owsley disputes with the pirate, but a couple of dates was absent due to an operation on the nose on September 2. In a match against India he crashed with a rival and had to reconstruct the nose. Now, she is forced to play with a mask, until she recovers at all. “It’s step by step, improving little by little, but I must have more patience,” said.

On September 15, 2024, the Bank of Province was put for the first time, and together with Ashley Hoffman, who continues to play, they coupled to a team that opened the doors from the beginning. With effort they arrived at the playoffs after a long time, and although they fell at the crossroads against Santa Bárbara, what was lived in Pinazo was something dreamed for their experience in Argentina. The player who seems more Argentine than English at this point, who uses words like “bone” and “obvious” and speaks a very good Spaniard, enjoys his day to day in our country.

So far, Banco Provincia is in the ninth position, with 24 points in 21 games. Adding 7 victories, three draws and 11 losses, they still do not lose hope of classifying the next phase of the Metropolitan Tournament A. The contest is long and the goal is very clear. “I am here because I was very disappointed when we lost last year. My dream is to play other playoffs with the most nice club, but it will not be easy, we have to win all the games that we have left.”

Of the six teams that are today in the Playoffs area, River Plate, Lomas and Geba have 39 points, San Fernando 34, Italiano 31 and city 30. With six points of difference with Muni, which is sixth, the goal is not impossible, but as Owsley mentioned, much precision and determination are needed to win the five dates they have left. The rivals are: Geba (3rd), Italian (5th), Architecture (8th), Banco Nación (12 °) and River Plate (1st).

Although three of the rivals are the ones in the playoffs area, Banco Provincia will seek to get between the first six, and the return of Lily, just 19 days after the operation, it should be a push that drives them to achieve their goal.
