LFC Women'I can't wait for the trophy lift' - Furness, Laws and Roberts react to title win
It was a truly special day for Liverpool FC Women on Sunday as they claimed the FA Women’s Championship title with two games to spare.
It also meant promotion back to the Women’s Super League was secured for Matt Beard’s side.
Here, we get the reaction of three key members of the Reds' squad this season - Rachel Furness, Rachael Laws and Rhiannon Roberts...
Highlights: Bristol City 2-4 Liverpool FC Women
Rachel Furness
It’s just a fantastic feeling. It’s one that we have worked hard for all season and I’m just buzzing that we are back up in the top league.
We’ve got goals from every position on the pitch in this team. You’ve got our captain stepping up today with a goal in Niamh Fahey, and I’m absolutely over the moon she scored our first goal because she deserves it.
She has been fantastic all season for us and it does go unnoticed, same with Lawsy and how many clean sheets she has kept this season.
I’m going to shout it out for Lawsy as our player of the season as she has been fantastic. It’s a whole squad effort but Niamh and Lawsy have been different class this season.
I can’t wait for that trophy lift now when we will get it in front of our own fans ahead of the Sheffield United game. I think that’s when it will sink in as to what we’ve achieved this season.
We’ve been ruthless, we’ve been resilient and we’ve been everything we wanted to be from the start of the season.
I’m proud of every single one of the girls in the squad, I’m proud of every member of the staff and we really deserve it this season.
Rachael Laws
The togetherness has been key, not just on the pitch but off it as well.
No matter who played on Sunday we were going to get this job done because we are so together. The togetherness of this team is something I’ve never experienced before.
We played some lovely stuff and I thought that was one of our better footballing performances this season and we got the job over the line. It doesn’t matter what the score was, we got it done and that was the main thing.
It’s not just us and it’s a collective effort. The staff prepare us week in, week out, make sure we are ready and it really is a collective.
Rhiannon Roberts
It’s an amazing feeling. It has just been a long time for us to wait and we are just buzzing to go back up - and we deserve to go back up.
I thought we played some great football in parts, they were tough to break down, it was a big pitch at Ashton Gate but it’s great to do it here and it’s so nice to get it done nice and early.
Credit to everyone, we defend from the front. Lawsy has been absolutely class for us again this season, we’ve kept a lot of clean sheets, our football has been really good.
We have stepped up every time this season and shown what we are about, the environment, the group we’ve got, the togetherness is unreal.
We are just so pleased to get it over the line.
