00:00 Yeah it was good, it was a tough fight the whole 60 minutes but yeah it was really exciting
00:14 for round one to get our first win and there were ups and downs throughout the whole game
00:18 but it was really good team effort to just keep our heads up and not take our foot off
00:23 so yeah it was lovely getting the win first round, I love it.
00:26 Just a team that you've seen a lot of over the years, you do tend to play them three
00:30 or four times a year at least and yeah they always bring the fight to you don't they?
00:34 They do, it's always an amazing game against them, we have to definitely lift.
00:38 Tan even said it would be nice if we played them every week, just at that intensity it's
00:43 really, gets the best out of our game as well so yeah it was a real team effort today but
00:49 yeah it was good to play against them and yeah fully matched all round.
00:53 I suppose a good part of the win was that you actually built up a nice break and then
00:59 you actually, unlike the grand final day last year you held onto it which we don't like
01:02 to remind anyone of.
01:03 Yeah it definitely makes it easier when you're going into that third quarter with a bit of
01:09 a lead but yeah obviously anything can happen and you can't take your foot off so yeah really
01:14 proud of the girls for not doing that and to stick together as a team and get that win.
01:19 Defensive end of the court is firing on all cylinders at the minute?
01:22 Yeah, yeah it's good having Sareen and yeah we'll have Emi soon but yeah defensively it's
01:30 been pretty exciting but throughout the whole court we've all got a defensive game with
01:35 us which is really important to play for the whole 60 minutes as well so yeah not just
01:40 us defenders but everyone.
01:42 And a big part of your season this year you're playing for the Bendigo Strikers and the VNL
01:46 obviously nice to have a run against some of your team mates there today.
01:49 Yes, yeah it's a bit weird being on them but yeah lucky no one got injured that's the main
01:55 thing but no it was good to play against them.
01:59 Pretty confident after a narrow loss last week that the second win is coming?
02:03 Yes, hopefully we're building as a club and obviously we are a new club but we also pretty
02:09 much all know each other so yeah we're looking forward to next round and hopefully we can
02:15 get that second win on the board.
02:17 And obviously after a good win today you get a nice reward, you're playing the reigning
02:21 premiers next week, what do you make of that contest?
02:23 Yes, it's exciting to play them another quality match and yeah we'll have to again step up
02:28 to that next level and the whole 60 minutes we're going to have to add it out but yeah
02:33 it's exciting we'll be back on our home turf so yeah I'm looking forward to it.
02:38 Well congratulations on a win today and congratulations on an individual game that was very good as
02:42 well.
