Lincoln City goalkeeper Kay Hawke says that The FA Women's Cup Semi-Final is the biggest game in the club's history, and that she'll be doing everything she can to cause one of the biggest upsets ever seen in the competition.

Having knocked out National Division outfit Blackburn Rovers, Hawke now has her eyes on Arsenal and says the belief is there.

She said: "It's the biggest game in the club's history, and I guess the second biggest was the round before when we played Blackburn.

"The girls rose to the occasion on that day and this is going to be another fantastic day for the club.

"The support that we get is incredible, the club has really forged good links with the community and that bodes well for the future.

"Sometimes the teams outside the National Division don't get the headlines they deserve, but the girls have put in the hard work to get here and this is a chance to show that we deserve to be playing sides like Arsenal and Blackburn every week."

Hawke played for Blackburn Rovers last season, but says that joining Lincoln has been a long-term decision that she doesn't regret.

"I had a season in the top flight with Blackburn last year and I moved down here to take one step back to take two forward. It's a fantastic club with a bright future and I wanted to be part of it.

"I think when we met Blackburn in the last round everyone raised their game and I think it proved to the girls that they hack it at the highest level."

If Lincoln were to spring an almighty surprise, the Final at the City Ground would not be a completely new experience for Hawke as she was part of the proceedings last May.

"I was lucky enough to be at the Final last season as a guest of The FA. With my Blackburn team-mates we were 'Team of the Round' twice when we beat Chelsea and Leeds.

"We were part of the spectacle and occasion of the day and that taste only makes you want more as a player, so I'm keen to get to play in Finals as much as possible.

"It helps that the ground is in the middle of the country so it's more accesible to more people, and it becomes a festival atmosphere with people of all ages enjoying the game."
