00:00If you were to describe the grand final in five words, what would you describe it as?

00:11Very, very, very, very terrifying.

00:13Why is it very, very terrifying?

00:15Well, because at the start, like, we burst these girls before and we lost to them.

00:21And then we were really scared at the start, but once we got on the field, it got easier.

00:28Because, like, we love soccer and it, like, it felt really calming.

00:33And who scored the goal?

00:35Chloe.

00:36And can you tell me, what was the goal that you scored?

00:39Like, what was the moment that happened leading up to it?

00:42So I was, like, running up and I was, like, thoughts were going, like, should I pass?

00:46Should I shoot? And I was, like, what should I do?

00:48And then I was, like, I'm just going to go for it because I've been told take long shots.

00:51I took it and it went through and I was, like, oh my gosh, I didn't realise that would happen.

00:56And it was just an amazing moment.

00:58That's really good. And what about the second half?

01:01That second half was extremely tense.

01:03Lots of screaming, lots of shouting.

01:06What was going through your minds in that second half?

01:08Don't let them score.

01:54Hayley Raffo.

01:55And why do we like those players so much?

01:58Well, I like Katrina Ghori because she has such a strong group

02:01and lots of people say, because she's called Mini G.

02:04My last name's G, so lots of people call me Mini G.

02:07So, she's just like an inspiration for me.

02:10I just like her because I play defence and she is a defence player.

02:14And I look up to her because she's like always locking the ball's hands up

02:18and, like, I just, she's really cool.

02:21Beautiful.

02:22I look up to Vanessa because she's quick with the ball

02:25and she's got a good strike and she can put the ball in the net a lot.

02:31And would you say that you guys want to play like your idols?

02:35Like, how you just played was how you want to play like your idols?
