 Defender Paige Williams believes Everton Ladies can send out a real statement of intent by overcoming Doncaster Rovers Belles in the Continental Cup on Sunday. Nicola Anderson's side have lost both their games in the competition so far this term - though against WSL1 opposition in Liverpool and Sunderland. Sunday's encounter at the Select Security Stadium gives the team a chance to test themselves against the leaders in their own division - WSL2 - one of three sides the fourth-placed Blues will be trying to chase down in the final weeks of the season. Williams, who scored the opening goal in last weekend's 4-1 league win over Millwall, said: “Doncaster are a really strong side and we need to beat them. It’s going to be a must win game, as well as all of our games in the second half of the season. I’m really looking forward to it. “We didn’t do so well in our first two cup games, but this game is what matters now. "We want to beat them because they're top of WSL2 and we want promotion - we want to prove we can achieve that. "I believe, and all the girls believe, that is still on for us and hopefully that is what we’re going to aim towards." Williams’ emphatic penalty against Millwall set the side on their way to three points and she was pleased the Blue Girls could produce a quality performance not only for themselves, but also for the watching crowd in Widnes. “Last weekend it was a good team effort from me and the girls," she added. “We wanted to start the second half of our league season with a good performance and we started as we mean to go on. "The support was brilliant. We did work outside at the Everton game against Watford to get people to come along and the more people know about Everton Ladies, the more people we can get to the games. “It always spurs us on even more when the crowd are behind us.” Tickets for Sunday's game are priced at just £5 for adults and £2.50 for children at the turnstile or £4 for adults and £2 for children online.
