Gabby Sabatino: "It's so nice to be back on the field"

After another successful weekend for the ladies winning 3-1 against Bury Ladies in a pre-season friendly, midfielder Gabby Sabatino says the work rate from the team was excellent and is excited for the season to begin.

"I think we played really well yesterday, it’s such a great feeling when the things you are working on in training are happening on game days and they are working so well for us. Our new pressing style of play is hard, especially yesterday with it being a warm day on a big pitch, but you can see us getting fitter as a team and pressing as a unit, it’s excellent to see the work rate from all the girls.

It’s so nice to be back on a field with all these girls, we’ve waited so long to get back to playing and I can’t explain how good it is to be enjoying our football as a team again. I’m excited for the season to start, whenever that is, and no matter what happens I know we will be enjoying being back together as a team".

The ladies take on Burnley Belvedere Ladies this weekend in another pre-season friendly. Kick off 2pm, Sunday 19th September at Prairie Sports Village.
