It’s another big game for us at home where we’ve got a great record against our friends Central Coast Mariners who we played in the Grand Final last year. e’ve had a good couple of weeks in both asia and the Hyundai a-League and everyone knowsW what’s on offer today; a trip to the Grand Final. after the disappointing performance in last year’s showpiece it’s a good chance to make amends and confirm a successive appearance which is what this group of players deserve. We won’t need any extra motivation for the match as we always focus on ourselves first and foremost. We’re in a good space at the moment with no injuries, the group training well and everyone focussed and high on confidence after our recent results. There’s no better way to finish off our home season than with a victory in front of our fans. I’m extremely proud of the two seasons that I have spent here. We all know as a start- up club how difficult it is to get not only a team ready but a whole club ready. The way it’s all come together with the infrastructure in place; the staff working well and the Westfield W-League and Foxtel National Youth League teams that we brought together means we’re in a good way looking forward and qualification to asia for next year is another stepping stone to making Wanderers bigger and better. Even though I’m leaving, Western sydney will always be the club I support.
