Everton FC ladies team living up to club's motto

THERE is one Everton team which is living up to its club's Latin motto completely.[LNB]Everton Ladies will be founder members of the FA's long awaited Women's Super League which launches in April (The FA WSL as its just been branded).[LNB]And they intend to kick-off the new campaign as champions of Europe.[LNB]A 5-2 aggregate victory over Brondby of Denmark fired the Blues into the quarter-finals of the Champions League for the first time last month.[LNB] But if Mo Marley's FA Cup holders are to add the most prestigious Ladies' club trophy to their cabinet, they will have to do it the hard way.[LNB]The Blues must face German champions and 2009 Champions League winners MSV Duisburg in the March quarter-finals.[LNB]And if they can negotiate that test, they will then face the winners of the clash between competition favourites FFC Turbine Potsdam, also of Germany, and French side FCF Juvisy-Essonne.[LNB]Manager Mo Marley, however, is thinking positively.[LNB]'We're not seeded so we were expecting a tough draw,' she said. 'But the way we look at it is that you can't call yourself European champions if you're getting easy draws. It's actually quite exciting.[LNB]'We wouldn't want to win it without having played a champion or a previous winner.[LNB]'If you want to win it you should want to win it in style.
