13. f you got to design your team’s kit, what would it look like? To be honest, I love the kits we have just now, especially our red one but I would change it to have short sleeves!
14. Do you listen to music to get you motivated, or while you train – if so, what tracks? I have to admit I’m a big One Direction fan, which gets me hyped up before a game.
15. Who, that plays for your team, should we know more about and why? You should get to know more about Lucy McLuckie because she is dedicated and a good player.
