Simone Forbes, captain of Waulgrovians 'A', said they won't be taking their opponents lightly.

"We are very confident in each other and our abilities to execute whenever we are out there, despite whom we are playing," said Forbes, who is also the captain of the national senior team.

Forbes added that they are aware of the dangers their opponent pose, but said her team is ready and raring to go.

"We are going out there to play hard because we are not going to take them lightly and once we do this then we should be able to win the game," she said.

Her opposite number, Latoya Thomas of Alexander Strikers, is hopeful.

"It is going to be a very competitive game because despite them (Waulgrovians) being a Super League team, we are going out there to do our best," said Thomas.

"We are coming to play hard because we are not any pushover," she said.
