Aberdeen Women return to the Balmoral Stadium this Sunday when they take on Motherwell in a 1pm kick-off. Tickets for Sunday are available here.

Soraya Walsh heads into the game on the back of netting an impressive double against Hibernian last Sunday, a game in which the Dons lost out 5-2.

The midfielder reflected on that match, settling into life in Aberdeen and she looked ahead to Sunday's match:

Reflections on Spartans and Hibs

"We had a positive start to the game, particularly in the first half, in terms of having the belief to get back into it. It's not always easy when you go 1-0 down in the first five minutes, so for us as a team to have the resilience to come back, not only once but twice to level the game, was really positive.

"Unfortunately, we conceded close to half-time to make it 3-2, but I think there were positives for us because, as a team that has been struggling to score, we scored two goals to get back into the game against Hibs, who are obviously a strong side. There are positives to take from that.

"We took a lot of confidence from getting a point in the game against Spartans. We created a lot more chances than we had been doing previously.

"Obviously, we're still gutted that we didn't get the win, but we can see the improvement in the team week in, week out, especially in attack and going forward, as we're trying to build and create chances."

"I was just really happy to get on the scoresheet (against Hibs). In that moment, I was just so happy to level the game and give us a fighting chance to try and get back into it.

"Hopefully, I can get some more opportunities in front of goal."

Life in Aberdeen

"It's different, but I'm enjoying it. I've been going to a lot of coffee shops, I would say Figment is my favourite! I've been going on quite a few drives to places like Balmedie Beach. I've even driven down to Glasgow and Edinburgh a few times, so that's been good.

"I'm enjoying life here, and all the girls have been really friendly and helpful with finding places to go.

"Both Katie (O'Hanlon) and Sal (Selin Cemal) were my teammates, so I've played with them before. They've made it really easy to settle in.

"When I found out they were both coming up, I was over the moon. It's great to have that connection on the pitch as well because you already know how each other plays."

Playing in Scotland

"I think it's physical. Obviously, I've played in Tier 3 in England, which is also very physical, but the Scottish league is a very physical league.

"It's a difficult league to play in, but I like the challenge. There are a lot of really good players, so I'm enjoying taking the opportunity to play in this league."

The challenge of Motherwell

"I'm not really focusing on their win against Celtic. Obviously, it's a good result for them, but I think we just need to focus on what we can do as a team and what we can bring to the game.

"We know that if we can go into the game, create the chances we've created in the past few games, then we can take the three points.

"Sunday is a big opportunity to start climbing the league table and picking up points. Obviously, the last game against them was away, whereas this time we're at home.

"Hopefully, we can put in a good performance and create problems for them, particularly with them having to travel up here."
