WHAT WAS SAID – Forward: Rosie Sutton
“We’re looking forward to Saturday, I think we’re in a good position at the moment, we’re on top of the table, we just keep want to keep building from here, keep scoring goals and not conceding.
“We’ve got good chemistry on the field, I think it’s showing, we’re obviously very disappointed that we’re in the FQPL at the moment and we feel like we are an NPL team so I think it’s just coming out every week and demonstrating how we feel within ourselves to the rest of the league.
“I think everyone’s contributing well, opposition defences are having trouble shutting down our attack and our defence has been really good, we haven’t been conceding, so that’s always a positive.
“I’m really thankful to the club, because obviously the injury took a lot longer coming back in, which was very disappointing for me, I missed the first half of the season so am just sort of making up for lost time at the moment and I’m enjoying my football.”
