Kelis Barton, a player for Rugby Borough, humorously reveals her mother’s frustration over early morning viewing times from Seattle, as Rugby faces Liverpool in the FA Cup. Rugby Borough, the lowest-ranked team left in the competition, has made a remarkable run, outscoring opponents 23 to 1 in previous rounds. Despite the challenge posed by Liverpool, the team harbors confidence and views the match as an opportunity to compete rather than a daunting challenge. Key players express camaraderie and excitement, reinforcing the bond formed throughout their cup journey, as they prepare for this significant match.
"It's surreal even thinking that Liverpool are coming to Rugby Borough. This journey has made everyone so much closer as players in the house or staff members."
"We're excited, but keeping that confidence with ourselves. As much as we respect Liverpool, we're confident as well," said striker Angelina Nixon.
"At the end of the day we back ourselves. It's more of an opportunity. It's not 'oh, we have to play Liverpool', it's 'we get to play Liverpool and they get to play us'."
"My mum is not too happy with me, because she'll be waking up in the early hours in Seattle to watch her daughter play for Rugby Borough."
