Leeds United Women captain Catherine Hamill looks forward to facing Championship side Durham in the FA Cup third round

It was an absolute mudbath. We’d already had the game cancelled once for a frozen pitch so, as we saw the rain come down this week, we wondered if it might be called off again.

Thankfully, it went ahead but the mud was so heavy on our feet and it made things very slippy for us.

Jockeying, especially, becomes challenging - you go one way then you change direction quickly and next thing you know you’re on the ground!

The goalscorer, Aaliyah Nolan, played really well, especially considering she has just returned from a long injury.

It was the perfect game for her; she’s a very physical player, even in training she gives it everything.

Against Norton, she got stuck in and was always in the right positions.

I had a bit of a different job on my hands on Sunday.

It was my responsibility to man mark Norton’s top-scorer Bianca Owens for the whole of the game.

She’s a huge threat for them; from anywhere on the pitch she can just turn and strike so quickly.

We know this from playing them before so we thought we would do well to get her out of the game as best as we could.

“If Owens goes to the toilet, you’re going with her.” Those were my instructions - and it seemed to work!
