has to be our cup final match against Hamble, all of the girls will
remember is it wasn’t a very nice match to play, and unfortunately we
lost.”

has to be when I scored against Hamble in a league game, we wanted to beat
them so badly as they were very big rivals, unfortunately they managed to
score also but we did draw with them in the end. Was my best playing
moment as I knew how much it meant to all the girls!”

still managed to wear my stilettos of course with the aid of my
