Catherine was a part-time starter last season and has a strong hit, ... Hillary has worked really hard on her game and is much improved this season. She has good stickwork and is good in transition.

Nobody in the paddock was happier to see last season end than I. I worked hard this off season and I am really looking forward to 2006. I am optimistic that this is going to be a big year for us. There is a lot of similarity between this year and 2004 in that a lot of people are overlooking us heading into the season. I think we will surprise a few of the so called experts.

Deco was brilliant against Mallorca. He played like he did last season. He made some great challenges, worked really hard and made some very intelligent passes.

They worked hard and deserved the type of regular season they had, but it's over with. Now we go down to the tournament, and when you go to the tournament you go to win.

This was the result the lads deserved. They've worked hard all season. We can now go on from this.

I feel lucky. I've worked hard this season like everybody else on the team.
