Leeds United Women defender Darcie Greene is looking forward to Sunday's FA Cup Second Round tie against Norton & Stockton Ancients, as the Whites aim to continue their recent winning form.

Following the end of their impressive 10-game winning streak against title rivals AFC Fylde Women, Simon Wood's side have responded with three consecutive victories and will be hoping to make it four this weekend.

Ahead of the cup clash, Greene discussed the significance of maintaining momentum.

"I feel like it is very important to continue our winning form, we want to ensure we are consistent with our performances so that we are continuing to build confidence within the team.

"We have already faced Norton this season in the league. We know they are very strong defensively and a very hard team to play. We’ve got to concentrate on our game and make sure we are prepared.

"FA Cup games are always an exciting challenge and winning gives us the opportunity to be in the hat for the next round. It gives us a break from the league action and it allows us to be challenged by playing different opposition."

Reflecting on her own performances this season, including finding the net in last weekend's victory over Durham Cestria, the defender explained her desire to keep growing and contributing to the team.

"No matter how well I play, I will always look at the areas in the game where I need to improve or what I could do differently. I will always look to work hard and try to contribute in any way possible.

"The supporters are really important to help see us through the game. We appreciate the time and effort it takes to come and support us and we are very grateful always."
