SUZY SHEPHERD

Welcome to Meggetland for todays league fixture verses Rangers Development Rangers are always a difficult game, they are a young energetic team who like to get the ball down and play and can hurt you if you give them time and space in key areas. After the last two disappointing narrow defeats against Celtic and Queens Park, we will be looking to get back to our winning way from todays. From our analysis of our previous games, we know the areas in which we need to development and have been working hard in training in preparation for this game. We are all looking forward to the game.

AVAILABLE TO SPONSOR ALIX WILKINSON Last week we said goodbye to long serving Steph Read who has left the club to pursue a career in Canada. We are so sad to see her go, however we all wish her all the best in her exciting new venture. In todays game we take on Rangers Development and I know after our last two narrow defeats, this is a match the squad are really looking forward to. We all know Rangers are a young team who look to play possession based football, which I myself am a big advocator of. Despite this, we know our strengths and believe that with our collective experience, physicality and intensity can maybe prove too much for them. This week we’ve had some great training sessions and we need to continue this into todays game in order to walk away with the three points. Alix Wilkinson
