Bridesmaids

What three works would you use to describe yourself?
Dorky, pale and ginger

What is your favourite footballing moment?
Winning the National Knockout Cup - The first time playing for Claudelands Rovers and the second time for Glenfield Rovers. When you love your team so much that you would do anything for them and then you win the knockout cup, there's nothing that beats that.

What are your future footballing aspirations?
To win the National Women's League 2018

What are your thoughts on the extended format of the National Women's League in 2018
It will increase the competitiveness of the league because we have more opportunities to play teams. I found with the shorter format that teams who took time to get into their groove really struggled to get the results to compete for the league
