Peninsula Power team player Luke Plummer said the team was really looking forward to the game and the challenge of competing against a prestigious opponent.

“It will be a good test for ourselves to see how we have been going this season after a good year. The Roar themselves are a good outfit so it will be a tough game I’m sure, but I think at the end of the day it’s only 90 minutes of football, so we are every chance of getting a good result.”

Peninsula Power field numerous teams of all ages. Player Daniel Cunha said there was a sense of anticipation from younger players at the club which would motivate the senior team in the upcoming game.

Peninsula Power Club Coach Jordan Manny said the boys are keen to be playing against a top A-league side and spoke about the opportunity to make the community proud.

“Preparations have been good. We have had a few big games during the week but there is a big chance for us together. You never know what could happen at the end of the day. It is a fantastic opportunity for us, and it is just great for football in Queensland to have that live at a big stadium. We are ready to go and really looking forward to it. We will see what happens.
