by Ayrton Galea - 15th May 2017

Rapid-winger Alishia Sultana has encouraged all the supporters to come to the stadium and be behind the team in Wednesday's Knock-Out Final match against Kirkop United FC, as the team will be aiming to finish their successful season with another trophy.

The place in the final comes with big delight for the clan, following enjoying a superb league campaign, and we opened this interview by looking back to our league campaign. Alishia started by saying, “Definitely that our major strength in the league campaign was team work. On the other hand, thanks to new signings, we gathered the much-needed squad depth.”

The Stripes booked their place in the Women's Knock-Out final last Tuesday, when they brushed off a side the challenge of holders Hibernians and defeated them with a 4-0 score. Sultana shared her views on this match, “Functionality was the key. Everybody had her own role to perform and we did it perfectly. That's why we managed to win the match with such comfortably.”

Sultana was the protagonist in this match as she scored twice in the second-half to wrap-up the victory and dash all Hibs' hopes. On scoring the two goals, she told us, “One of my best years overall on a personal note, and my efforts were necessary to achieve such results. Happy to score another two more goals, but overall happy to be playing another decisive game this Wednesday.”

Finally, Sultana signed off this interview with a message to the supporters, “Come and support us as we aim to lift another trophy and finish up a successful season.”
