We are looking forward to getting back on the pitch after what seems like a long time since our last game, when we lost to Birmingham Ladies in the quarter-final of the Continental Cup, when they scored the winner with the very last kick of the ball in extra-time. That was on August 7 and we are now refreshed and ready to go again. It was a sucker-punch right at the end against Birmingham but unfortunately that’s football and why we love and sometimes hate it. It’s still a little bit bitter, the taste of that defeat, but I honestly believe it will be a great lesson for us in moving forward with this young group.
