AFTER scoring her 200th goal for the Sharks recently we thought it would be a good idea to ask our star striker VICKY ROE about her experiences with the team.
1 WHY DID YOU FIRST JOIN THE SHARKS IN JANUARY 2013?
I joined the Sharks after being poached by them! Salma thought I had more potential than just being in goal for the Late Arrivals and after Nazma, a former Shark, nearly knocked me out once I thought it was a safer option to play for them than against them lol.
In joining the Sharks I've found the best team mates I could ever have wished to find!
2 DID YOU EVER THINK WHEN YOU FIRST JOINED YOU WOULD SCORE 222 GOALS IN ABOUT 85 GAMES?
I never imagined I would score so many and even now still can't believe I'm on goal number 222! However, none of those goals would of been possible with the help of all of the Sharks, they all assisted in one way or another.
3 YOU BROKE YOUR OWN INDIVIDUAL CLUB RECORD ON WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 1, WITH 18 GOALS IN A GAME. WAS YOUR PERFORMANCE ANY BETTER THAN USUAL OR WAS IT JUST THE FACT SO MANY CHANCES CAME ALONG?
My performance wasn't better or any worse than any other games I've played, I had some great assists from Aisha, Dee, Camilla and Salma and just took the chances as and when the opportunities presented themselves.
4 LAST SEASON WAS THE SHARKS' WORST. YOU FINISHED BOTTOM OF THE LEAGUE AND TOOK SOME HEAVY BEATINGS. HOW DIFFICULT AN EXPERIENCE WAS THAT?
Last season was particularly difficult and not only was the Sharks' confidence knocked but my confidence was at rock bottom too. However, we win as a team and lose as a team and this is what I love about the Sharks - we stick together no matter what! We may have been at the bottom but the only way from down there was up and this is the only direction we are going this season.
5 THIS SEASON YOU HAVE DROPPED A LEVEL AND ARE WINNING FOR FUN. HAS THIS CHANGE BEEN BENEFICIAL FOR THE SHARKS?
Even though we have dropped a level I think as a team it is something we needed. We have regrouped, found our feet, regained our confidence and are enjoying our football again which we were somewhat lacking last season after being heavily defeated time and time again.
6 IF YOU GET BACK UP TO THE TOP LEAGUE, DO YOU THINK YOU WILL BE STRONGER AND MORE COMPETITIVE?
There is no if's about getting to the top of the league we 'are' going to win the league this season! We have always been a competitive side and we know there are stronger teams than us out there but we also know as a team we are capable of beating anything the league throws at us which is what we have proved in the past.
7 SHARKS SEEM TO HAVE A SETTLED SIDE THIS SEASON AFTER A COUPLE OF SEASONS OF CHOPPING AND CHANGING. HAS THIS HELPED YOU AS A TEAM?
I believe we are more settled as a team as we are now fielding the same five players each week. Chopping and changing in my opinion never really helped or suited us as a team and I believe the results themselves reflect this.
8 ARE YOU STILL PLAYING WEEKEND OUTDOOR FOOTBALL AND IF SO, HOW IS THAT GOING?
I play as a central defender for Solihull Ladies and I absolutely love it! It is such a contrast from a Wednesday evening going from goal-scorer to goal defender but it certainly keeps me on my toes!
9 WHAT ARE YOUR PERSONAL AMBITIONS IN FUTSAL/FOOTBALL AND YOUR AMBITIONS FOR THE SHARKS?
My ambition for the Sharks is to continue to go from strength to strength, win this league and continue to progress up the league next season.
My personal ambition is just to continue to play to the best of my ability. Football is something I love and I don't think I will ever lose the passion for the game!
10 WHAT ARE YOUR FEELINGS TOWARDS YOUR MULTI AWARD-WINNING CAPTAIN SALMA BI?
Salma is an absolute inspiration to The Sharks and sport in general. Without her and Gemma Smith initially I would never have been given the opportunities to meet so many amazing people and take part in so many activities raising money for such good causes. Futsal 30 hours here we come.........
