7:14Poppy ChanningGUEST
I've seen Sydney lift a lot of trophies and honestly Sydney is a team that I've always idolised as a little girl and seeing my friends like Indy DeSantos when I was at school with her being able to do that I think it would just be so special to be part of that team after watching them do it so many years before me so if I can have a role in helping that happen then that's a dream come true.

I mean, we were fortunate enough that we'd also played them in the Sapphire Cup and they were the team that knocked us out.

So playing them that second time around in the competition was the third time we'd played them.

So, again, like I said, it was looking at their strengths and trying to neutralise those.

I actually would be quite surprised if they change the starting 11 for this game.

Zoran Nomovski, you know... would have been thrilled with just the level of composure that they did have under extreme pressure from Apia.

And this is a team that, Emily, as we saw in the Sapphire Cup final, managed a bit of a classic cagey final really well.

Naylor made some big saves in the opening exchanges when Sienna Dale looked like she was going to rip that final apart.
