The Sunday clash against Ljubljana’s Olimpija will be the last match in October for the senior team of ŽNK Radomlje Medex. Olimpija has gathered 21 points from eight matches, while Radomljanke follow closely with 16 points, having drawn against Primorje in Ajdovščina with a weakened squad in the previous round.

“The match against Primorje is behind us. I believe that, in addition to our fighting spirit, our desire to earn at least one point in that match was rewarded,” reflected Jona Javorič on the clash with the Primorje players.

The match against the Ljubljančanke will undoubtedly be a bit more challenging than the one in the capital, but the yellow hearts will still be highly motivated: “We have a duel against Olimpija ahead of us. If we want to achieve our goals, we will need to play with focus and patience, and stick to the strategies we agreed upon in training.”

With the match against the green-whites from the capital, Radomljanke are concluding the first half of the regular part of the national championship. The Women’s Football League Triglav will split into two groups after 18 rounds, and the young yellow team aims for a place in the champions’ group this year as well.

“My teammates and I have played all the previous matches to the best of our abilities. I am satisfied, but there is always room for improvement. Therefore, my goal for the remainder of the season is to be even better and to climb to the top or close to the top of the standings,” emphasized the player from Moravče. The yellow hearts have previously defeated Cerklje, Gažon, Krim, Aluminij, and MB Tabor, while losing to Mura and Ljubljana alongside their draw with Ajdovci.

The match against Olimpija will be the last before a two-week competitive break, during which training sessions at the Sports Park Radomlje will be quite diminished. A remarkable thirteen players from Radomlje have been called up to the cadet and youth selections of Slovenia, and coach Matej Rožič Mavrič will join the senior national team staff, which will play qualifying matches against Austria. Interestingly, there are seven former members of the yellow team on the list of selector Saša Kolman.

“The call-up of these girls to the Slovenian national team is a confirmation of the good work of each individual, the club, and everyone around the team. It’s additional proof that the club truly focuses on young players,” a member of the youth national team responded when asked what such a high number of national team invitations means for the club.

The senior team of Radomlje is also young this season, yet it serves as a role model for younger girls in the club. This was also evident in a recent gesture by Manca Šegedin, an under-11 player, who gave her role model a handmade bracelet. “It’s one of the most beautiful things that I can be a role model for the young players of our club. I never expected that I could be such a young role model for someone from the younger selections and that she would prepare a gift for me even in her free time, which she doesn’t dedicate solely to football. This means a lot to me,” Jona added.

The match between the yellow hearts and the dragon ladies will kick off at 3 PM at the Sports Park Radomlje.
