Having to miss part of the season, how good did it feel to come back and play a part in the final few games ?
When I first got the news about having to miss the full end to the season I was gutted, especially at that point knowing we had a great chance of winning something. Every Saturday I was always glued to my phone waiting for a result and the boys always pulled through. I was buzzing to know I could come back early and play a part in the last 4 games as I believed we really were going to win it.
What was your favourite goal?
Personally, my favourite goal would probably be my first goal of the season which was against Hessle Sporting and got us the win which at the time doesn’t seem as important but those close games have got us to becoming champions!
At what point did you feel the title could be won?
When we went away to Scully’s and got a point was when I thought we were in the running, but the last minute goal against Hornsea was when I really thought we were the team to beat with the character that was shown by all the lads.
Where does it rank with previous achievements?
I think I’d definitely say this is my favourite football achievement, from when I first watched the team with my dad when we moved to Pocklington we always knew there was enough talent in the team to be winning trophies and to be able to join and be a part of it was really special. I think it felt extra special to do it for the lads that had been here a while alongside Mark and Joe who had welcomed me into the team and helped me settle immediately.
Who was your stand out player?
This is a really tough question and one I think could be given to a number of players, I don’t think I can give it to one individual as it’s been a massive team effort from lots of players across the club and becoming Champions has only been achieved by having a great squad.
What are your plans/targets for next season?
The Target for next year is to win more silverware, I think to have another good run in the County Cup would really prove what a great team we are and to avenge our loss from last year’s final would really show the character we have!
