LB: Yes, there are some strong teams in the division, who are having good cup runs too! And
playing some teams in higher divisions, so a very strong division at the moment.
WSS: Just how ambitious for the future is the club and is that Cup run making
everyone hungrier?
LB: The club are so ambitious, and are fully supporting us at every stage of the journey. Our aim
is to push ourselves as a group as much as possible to achieve the highest possible league status.
Some of the wins in the FA Cup have made us hungrier but I feel that all of us already had this
ambition to get as high as possible and also as far as possible in cups. The club are filling backing
us and supporting us with this, this has been evident with the travel support and food stops at
hotels in the FA Cup.
