Pre-match quotes
Iain Darbyshire
“We’ve only played at home once so far this season, so we can’t wait to play in front of the home support again.
“Briton Ferry caused us some problems last time, so we’re expecting a tricky match, but are confident in taking three points.”
Kanisha-Mae Underdown
“Every game is crucial and anything could happen, so we don’t take Briton Ferry lightly and we’ll go into the game with a positive mind, before hopefully claiming the win.
“I just can’t wait to get back on the home pitch because we’ve only played there once this season.
“The crowd at home to Llandudno was much better than we had last season and we need that because the bigger the crowd and atmosphere, the more it helps us.”
