VIEWS FROM THE DRESSING ROOM
Ahead of the game, Katie George said: “It’s great that we’re getting the double headers. We had a brilliant crowd at Taunton and hopefully we’ll get the same at Bristol. Everyone is really looking forward to it.
“They beat us last time out, so hopefully we can put that right tomorrow. It’s a must win game. They’ve got some fantastic players who can win them matches, but we’ve got plenty of those too. I’m sure it’ll be a really good game and hopefully we can come out on the right side of it.”
