Laura Berry Relishing The Challenge

LAURA BERRY is relishing a ‘crucial’ period of the season as the SWPL split gets set to commence tomorrow.

Rangers will take on Motherwell in their first match as part of the top-six teams in the league, with it all to play for and seeing just two points separate the top four sides in the division and everyone having to still play each other twice.

Speaking to the official Rangers website ahead of their campaign continuing, she said: “It is a really important time and each game is crucial.

“We need to get three points every game and that is what we are going to go and try do.

“It is massive, the top of the table is really tight.

“Every game is challenge and that is what we want.

“We want the league to be challenging and that is what it is this season.

“Every point is up for grabs and you need to be at your best at all times.”

Having been cup-tied for the Gers’ Scottish Cup victory in the last outing, the youngster is eager to get back on the pitch having made an impressive impact off the bench in the 2-2 draw with Hearts a fortnight ago, as she reflected on her days work in that outing.

She continued: “I was delighted, even just to get on I was happy and the impact I had I was delighted.

“A goal and an assist and got the team back in the game, I felt like if we played another extra five minutes I think we would have nicked it.

“I really enjoyed coming on and playing in that type of game.

“Coming on left wing? I have not played it in a game but I have played it in the training and I know how to kind of play it from that, Jo just said to go and play my game and attack as much as I can and that is what I did and I think it did pretty well there.”

The 17-year-old will be coming up against the club she has spent previous time on loan at as she described her team learning at Paul Brownlie’s side and what is like linking back up with the Light Blues once again.

She added: “I have a lot to owe them all the staff and the players at Motherwell, they were really great with me.

“I really enjoyed my time so will go there and hopefully if I play I show them that I am still the player that I was when I was there and prove to them that I am good enough to be here as well.

“It has been great coming back in and being here full-time.

“There is midweek games coming up so everyone will be really useful and we know that coming in towards the end of the season.

“It will be different but I am excited to see all the girls and on the pitch it will just be focusing on the game and I will see them afterwards, I will take it as it comes.”
