When we walk out on court tonight to play Logan, one thing I can guarantee is there'll be a handful of familiar faces from Canberra United in the crowd.
Likewise, we'll be returning the favour when we head to McKellar Park tomorrow to cheer on the United girls in their semi-final against Melbourne.
A number of Caps players have close friends in the United camp, and there's a great community feel across Canberra female sport.
I've played in a few different states and I can say without hesitation the coverage of women's sport in Canberra is the best I've experienced.
One of the great things about women's sport is we don't see United, or any other female team for that matter, as competition.
In a sense we are competing for bums on seats and media exposure, but that honestly doesn't cross our minds because all we care about is the health of women's sport in the city.
Sunday's loss to Bendigo was undoubtedly one of the toughest in which I've been involved in 13 WNBL seasons.
To lose by a point in the final seconds after leading by eight with less than two minutes left was heartbreaking.
What also made it so tough was that getting a win was so crucial in the context of our season.
Everyone was shattered in the change rooms afterward, but I thought Graffy did really well pulling us together and highlighting the things we need to address.
She made the point we're still alive for the finals, but if we dwell on this loss it could really affect us.
