Pre-match Quotes

Speaking ahead of Sunday’s game, Kaitlin Hilton said: “Sometimes this season we might have doubted ourselves because we are in that growth stage whereas other teams are getting stronger and stronger. However, we reached the Finals of the Nines tournament and the Semi Final in the Challenge Cup, which was very competitive, so we’ve gained that belief in ourselves that we are as strong, if not stronger than some of the other teams and that we can compete.”
