00:00 race has been in the Division 1 Women's Cup final. What does it mean not just to
00:04 the players but the whole club to be here at the weekend? Yeah the club pretty
00:08 excited. I think it's 86 since we've been in the grand final last.
00:14 So everyone's supporting us and I'm sure they'll be all tipped down in their purple ready to watch us on Saturday which will be nice.
00:18 There's a good number of this team that have played together over a number of
00:22 years. Can you just tell me a bit about the journey and how this team has become
00:26 as strong as it is now? Yeah we've definitely had a good foundation. We've played
00:30 together for a lot of years. Obviously the siblings in the team, the girls have played together for 10 plus years.
00:36 So having them coming in and out of the team really shows how much we enjoy
00:41 playing together. A lot of us have sort of as a foundation group and journeyed
00:45 away, had kids come back, went away for uni, come back. So I think it just shows how good of a solid core group that we've got.
00:54 For you, that thought of walking out here with the team on Saturday evening and
00:59 with the crowd and the occasion, how does that make you feel when you've worked so hard?
01:03 Yeah pretty unreal. I think the whole environment's going to be pretty exciting. I know the girls are very excited to get out here and just get on the field.
01:11 I think once we're out here we'll take a few of the nerves away but generally having that sort of stadium environment is going to feel a bit unreal.
01:17 And having beaten Hotspurs in the semi-final, I suppose United is a different type of challenge.
01:23 What are you expecting and how do you win this game?
01:25 Yeah I think United will be a bit more physical. They're sort of a bit of an older team like we are.
01:30 There's a bit more match wisdom in there that's going to be a bit tougher in that sense.
01:36 But I think it will be definitely a very even match.
01:39 For sure. Reckon you've got what it takes to beat them?
01:41 I definitely think we do, yeah.
01:43 Good luck Maya.
01:44 Thank you.
