GET TO KNOW Sienna Howell

Sienna, your first season being a Tiger, how have you found it?

Enjoyable for sure! I was honestly unsure what to expect, but the girls have welcomed me with open arms and are a great bunch of girls (hope they don’t read this)! Love the competitive standard of the team and league and each game being challenging and testing. Overall, a great first season personally, and amazing to be part of a squad that’s improved so much, with a coaching team so dedicated.

Your previous clubs include Lewes and Selsey in the National League, how does the standard compare?

Naturally as you would expect there are differences, predominantly the National league having a number of professional clubs. Meaning they train often, making high tempo, strong technical ability and tactically demanding with a wider range style of play. However, I cannot deny that the intensity in this league is incredible and so much more competitive with each team in this league capable of competing each game. Love how close the points are, far more exciting!

Togetherness within the squad seems to be a key part of our success, what is it like in the dressing room?

Definitely! I cannot deny that this squad has been one of, if not the best squad I’ve played with for their togetherness and fun friendly atmosphere. I think it’s a huge part of success, as being close off the pitch goes naturally onto the pitch too, and think results come from seeing eachother as teammates and not competition. Tonight’s social will also bring us further together I’m sure ;)

We are in a very good run of form at the moment, unbeaten in the last 8 games. How do you see the season finishing?

100% focus and no doubt it will finish with a very respected position in the league! We have had a great run of success and the last game gets ever closer but we have to just keep playing and focusing like we have been to keep that run going until the end of the season. This season can finish with amazing sights set for next season too.
