CITY MEMORIES | MEGAN BOWEN
In the last meeting between the two sides, the Bluebirds claimed a 3-1 win on the opening day of the campaign.
City centre-back Megan Bowen put in a fantastic display, as she netted a fine brace.
Recalling a highlight of her season so far, Megan said: "It’s always important for us to start as we mean to go on, so to have three points on the opening day was crucial.
"To score a brace in the first game of the season meant a lot. Adding goals to my game is something I looked to improve coming into this season. It was a good start to improve my all round game.
"It was a good stepping stone and set the tone of my season and how the team will perform. Hopefully, I’ll add more goals as the season continues and help the team in any way I can."
