Brentford Women defender Regan Graver says the side won’t get ahead of themselves ahead of Sunday’s clash with Richmond Park despite sitting top of the London South East Division One North table.
The Bees make the short trip to Corinthian-Casuals Football Club looking to extend their 100 per cent league record (2pm kick-off GMT).
A win last time out over Whyteleafe saw Karleigh Osborne’s side move up to first place, two points clear of Bromley – who are the opponents when Brentford Women return to Gtech Community Stadium on Sunday 23 March – in second.
The west Londoners have also played one game less than their promotion rivals.
“Looking at the table, obviously being top now with have a game in hand over Bromley, I think it really is a case of taking every game as it comes, not thinking too far ahead and not getting ahead of ourselves,” said Graver.
“We’re just sticking with what we know, what we can do and taking every game as it comes with the idea in mind of where we want to be at the end of the season.”

The Bees have been in superb form on the road this season with five wins from as many games, scoring 30 goals and conceding just three.
The last two away league fixtures have seen Osborne’s side keep two clean sheets, something Graver wants to continue moving forward.
“We had a great run of home games just before Christmas and so I think now it’s so much more important that for the away games, we remain strong, we remain together and make sure that we’re carrying the momentum even though it’s away from home,” she explained.
“The clean sheets for me as a defender are the most important thing, we’ll leave [Chloe] Logie, Cheats [Ashley Cheatley] and Nikki [Woods] to score the goals.
“For us as a defensive unit, I think it’s so important to keep those clean sheets and for the team in general, I think it really gives us a great mindset to know that we’re scoring goals but we’re not conceding any.”
