Eliza Collie celebrates with the FAW Women's Cup trophy

CITY MEMORIES | ELIZA COLLIE

The Bluebirds have won the Bute Energy Welsh Cup in the last two consecutive seasons. Last year, striker Eliza Collie netted three goals on City’s way to claiming the cup, including the first goal in a 4-0 win in the final over Briton Ferry Llansawel.

Recalling the memories of last year’s final, Eliza said: “It was a very good feeling to score the opener. There’s always a lot of pressure in a cup final, so to be able to take a bit of pressure off the girls was a good feeling.

“Winning the cup is a happy memory, but being able to contribute with goals to get us to the final is a brilliant feeling as a striker.

“Last season was such an amazing season for us, we knew what we had to do in order to be successful and we did that. To win the double was an amazing achievement, missing out on the treble gave us motivation to make sure we were successful in the league and in the cup. Ending the season on such a high was an important thing to take into this season.”

Turning her attention to this weekend’s fixture, the striker added: “We have a very good squad this year with new players coming to add to the strength we already had.

“We had a successful cup run last year and we hope to take that momentum into this year as well. The focus is to take it one game at a time and make sure we put everything into the game.”
