00:00Thanks for joining us Emily. Congratulations on the win today against Tim Boone. Can you tell us a bit about it?

00:05Thank you. It was a very hard fought out win. We came off the back of a really close win from Pemi World last week.

00:11So yeah, we were just pumped to get out there and really pushed Tim Boone and yeah, really, really thrilled with the results.

00:21Was there anyone you thought played particularly well today?

00:23Oh, my co-defender, Rachel Alderson. I think she just brings it each week and she makes me look good.

00:31I was also really impressed with Tamara Bull's voice in wing defence. She really supported Rachel and I in defence today.

00:37And of course, I pretty much shouted everyone out now, but just a team effort. The goalies did amazing as well, a bit of an Asher.

00:45I just think it was a full court team effort. They were the most standout.

00:48And it was a tricky conditions today, probably the first win to the end of the season.

00:53It's been a long time coming. How did you deal with the consistent run?

00:55I feel like the girls did really well in the slippery conditions.

00:58There are a few like drop balls and slips and things like that, but that came from both sides.

01:05So I think, yeah, I think we coped pretty well for our first really wet one.

01:10But yeah.

01:11And you're co-captain this year with Annabelle Lucas. How's that going?

01:14Yeah, really good. I love Annabelle's support.

01:17I would say she does the warm-ups and the toss and I'm just there to bring the vibes.

01:23But she's away today, so I had more jobs to do, which was stressful.

01:28But no, I really enjoy co-captain with Annabelle. She's an excellent support.

01:34It's like in old collegians, you're trying to push for a finals berth. It's pretty tight.

01:39How are you feeling about the second half of the year?

01:41It's very tight. I think we're, well, we were sitting fifth at the end of last round.

01:45So I guess it will depend what happens today.

01:48I'd love to push for finals.

01:50Yeah, I feel like we've got some really good momentum now coming off two wins.

01:54So if we can keep building and keep working on, you know, everything that we're doing at training

01:59and all that kind of stuff, like, I think that we can really push some of those top teams.

02:03No worries. Well, thanks, Emily. And best of luck for the second half of the year.

02:06Awesome. Thank you.
