“I have played at Cromer maybe a thousand times from the age of 10 up.

“I’d love to get a hat trick here. It would be lovely.

“But to be honest if my teammates score, or I even get an assist to help them, that’s what matters most. Getting the team win.”

The W-League leading goal scorer for the 2019/20 season is just short of her pre-season target of 10 goals before the finals.

It’s a local derby and that’s alway a big match. Whoever wants it more on the day usually gets the points

“It will be a grudge match,” Siemsen said.

“It’s a local derby and that’s alway a big match. Whoever wants it more on the day usually gets the points.”
