England Blind Women win IBSA Tri-Nations Cup

England Blind Women lifted the IBSA Tri-Nations Cup this weekend, beating both Sweden and Poland in the tournament at St. George’s Park.

A 2-1 win over Sweden in their first outing saw a brace from Lucja Wyrwantowicz seal victory.

After racing through on goal and beating the goalkeeper from a difficult angle, Wyrwantowicz added a second when she raced into the box once again, weaving in and out of two yellow shirts and blasting the ball into the roof of the net.

Sweden pulled a goal back but it was nothing more than a consolation with England victorious.

England then overcame Poland in their second match-up, registering a 2-0 win. Wyrwantowicz bagged her third goal in two games to break the deadlock. After beating three opposition players, she took aim as the ball found a way through.

Chloe McBratney added a second from the penalty spot later in the game to double England’s lead, although she was denied another after her second spot kick was well saved.

England came up against Sweden in the final, making it three wins on the spin as they ran out 2-0 winners to be crowned champions.
