We're playing for keeps now in Round 3 of qualifying. The top 2 teams in our group qualify for the finals. I'd really like to think we'll achieve that this time around. While the catharsis of qualifying via Round 4 knock-out matches in incredible, I'd prefer to avoid these matches as there's an element of lottery about them.
Our first match was against a tough opponent and we comfortably accounted for them 3-0. That's a great start. We're finding the net and keeping a clean sheet against good sides. It's also 9 wins on the trot.
