🎙️ "They're [Glentoran] a good side and they got the result that day [last year] so we know it's going to be tough.

"It's going to be a tough game but it's a great one for us that we can go up there and give it our best shot and show some improvements."

🎙️ "It feels so good [to be back]. It's been a long time coming... Watching the girls week-in-week-out work just pushed me to get back out there.

"[We want to] continue this momentum. We don't want to lose it whether its a cup game or a [league] game."

🎙️ "We probably haven't gotten as many wins as we would have like against them [Longford Town] in the last few seasons... It's not about worrying who we're playing. It's more about going out and perform the way we can.. I'm sure the result will be positive.

"Jake [Doyle] has been so consistent and really good. [Adam] Verdon has been chipping in with a lot of goals from midfield as well. They all lead to more points for the team and that's ultimately why we're higher up the table."

🎙️ "Our expectations might be a little bit different in this game as it might have been against the DLR, but that's not to move away from the fact that we still will demand more from the players.

"Dana [Scheriff]'s back it up already coming back into the league and scoring goals... we're going to have to pay a lot of respect to her and the rest of the Athlone players but we also have to go in with the mindset of how can we stay in the game and try and create something."
