Attacker Brian Woodall is looking forward to playing Stirling Lions in round one of the 2018 National Premier Leagues.   The home and away season commences on Friday evening with Inglewood United pitted against their City of Stirling counterparts on home soil.

Stirling have a psychological advantage going into the game having claimed victory three times from the last four meetings between the clubs.   However, Woodall says the time has come to reverse that trend.   “It does seem like we struggle against Stirling, I’m not sure why that is,” Woodall said.

“But I’m feeling very confident that we will beat them on Friday night.   We had a very tough pre-season so fitness-wise we are all ready to go, we are well-drilled and have a game plan that we will stick to.   Our goal is to start the season strongly and that means getting a win from game one.”

“This is my fourth season with Inglewood and the squad is definitely the best I’ve played with.   We have players that can play different positions and the versatility and competition that brings means everyone will they have to perform well to keep their place in the team.”

“But our real strength lies in an attitude of ‘helping your teams mates out’ which runs through the entire squad.   We all work hard for each other, there’s a common goal we are working towards and we perform as a team.   That is where our danger comes from – the unity of the squad.”
