“We are heading into Thursday night with a really healthy squad and a clear focus. It was a massive blow to lose Daisy to injury in our last outing; she has been an absolute standout for us, and we are all wishing her the very best in her recovery. The girls know that Thursday’s performance has to reflect her level of bravery on the ball.

We have a genuine opportunity to finish in the top half this season. When you look at where we were two years ago, the progress is undeniable. That comes entirely from the players buying into our system—playing out from the back and fighting for each other. We have three games left to cement that legacy, starting this Thursday.”
