INTERVIEW MCCATTY ON PROGRESSIVE SEASON Grace McCatty has assessed SAFC Ladies’ debut season back in the FA Women’s Championship ahead of the Lasses’ final game of the league season at Eppleton today against Bristol City Women. The defender spoke to safc.com and Red & White prior to last Sunday’s Wear Derby clash with her former side Durham, and reflected on the progression and consolidation of the 2021-22 campaign. “I think for us, it has been a journey this year,” the defender said. “We set our stall out and we knew where we wanted to be, and that was realistically to retain our league status. We achieved that, so now we’ve found our feet a bit more and gathered more consistency. “We want to finish on a high now and build ahead of next season.” Despite the 3-0 defeat at Maiden Castle last weekend, McCatty explained the significance of having a healthy rivalry with Durham, which from all cylinders helps bring through the best talent and emphasises women’s football in the region. “There is no denying that there is an occasion to it when we face each other, and that rivalry is beneficial for both teams and sets of supporters. “It’s also huge for women’s football in this area to have two teams in the second division on each other’s doorsteps. It shows how much the game has grown in the region.” At 32, McCatty is the most senior player in a very youthful squad built by Mel Reay and Steph Libbey – and has praised the impact of the youth pathway and the contributions of the Lasses’ younger charges. “Our young players have developed fantastically this season, and if they want to play at the highest level, experiences like Sunday’s game, its atmosphere and many other games this season against seasoned opponents will really help them. “This year has really shown the pathway that the club has worked so hard to provide, and the girls are taking their chances and showing they’re capable.” WWW.SAFC.COM 9
