Africa-Press – Seychelles. <\/strong><\/span>The Seychelles women\u2019s national football team have ended their impressive tour of Reunion island, winning two, drawing one and losing the other of their four matches played.<\/b><\/p>\n

They returned home on Sunday after a 10-day tour and training camp which formed part of preparation for next year\u2019s Indian Ocean Islands Games to be held in Madagascar.<\/p>\n

The team were made up of a mixture of young under 15, under 19 and more seasoned players. The women\u2019s national team head coach Angeline Chua said she was happy with the results achieved.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe need to continuously rejuvenate the team and I am happy that the younger players are settling in well, giving us hope for the future,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

Seychelles opened their four-match campaign with a comfortable 3-0 victory over Association Fe\u0301minines de Football de l\u2019Est (AFFE) of Saint Benoit. Natacha Bibi scored a brace and Pascalina Moustache netted the other.<\/p>\n

The second match against Saint Paul was much tougher. Seychelles were leading 1-0 through a Pascalina Moustache strike until the final five minutes when a lapse of concentration allowed Saint Pauloise to pull level. The match ended 1-1.<\/p>\n

As expected, the most difficult match was against the Reunion selection who were tougher than the rest. The Reunion selection won 5-0, giving the Seychelles side an idea of the level of play to expect at next year\u2019s IOIG.<\/p>\n

Analysing the defeat, coach Chua said the Reunionnais were technically better, especially at set pieces, faster and they had a very good goalkeeper.<\/p>\n

In fact only one of the five goals was scored during open play. Two came from freekicks, one from the spot, and the other from a corner kick.<\/p>\n

\u201cI believe the main difference between them and us is that they are technically superior and better organised. These are things we can work on,\u201d said coach Chua.<\/p>\n

She added that Madagascar, which most of the time are an unknown quantity, will also be part of the equation at the IOIG. \u201cWe have to consider them as well.\u201d<\/p>\n

Seychelles complete their four-match tour with a 2-1 victory over CS Saint Denis. Reena Esther and Gyra Boniface scored for Seychelles.<\/p>\n

Seychelles undertook the Reunion tour at the invitation of the Ligue Re\u0301unionnaise de Football (LRF) who partnered with clubs Entente Ravine Creuse and Association Fe\u0301minines de Football de l\u2019Est (AFFE).<\/p>\n

The Seychelles Football Federation has thanked the LRF for making the trip possible.<\/p>\n
