REACTION | DYLAN WILLIAMS POST MATCH INTERVIEW | STOWMARKET TOWN V NEEDHAM MARKET | 28.04.2023 | ENDEAVOUR AUTOMOTIVE SUFFOLK PREMIER CUP FINAL |



After the Suffolk Premier Cup Final, I spoke to midfielder and Man Of The Match Dylan Williams, to get his thoughts on the final and season itself. 

DK: Nice bit of silverware to end the season! 

DW: Yep, we needed it, it finished off a tough season but it was well deserved in the end, and worked hard and the boys got we deserved. 

DK: You scored in both the game itself and the shoot out, that's something. 

DW: Yeah, I was just happy to be in the right place at the right time, and when the ball came back to me I just tried to put good contact on it and luckily it found the back of the net. 

DK: How did it feel taking that penalty? 

DW: I'll be honest, I've done it before, so I just tried to block everything out, focus on where I'm going, and yeah that's it really mate it. 

DK: Must have been some hell of a game to play in though? 

DW: Oh yeah I think we're lucky it didn't go extra time, because it could have been about six six I reckon! It was one for the fans that's for sure! 

DK: Mind you it did go 6-5 in the shootout! 

DW: It did yeah, well there was a couple of boys nervous, so we're lucky that he didn't carry on because I think all the penalty takers had been used up, Marco (Marcus Garnham) might have had to take soon! 

DK: Would you say it was a game where both attacks were on top rather than the defence? 

DW: Yeah for sure for sure, like I said, honestly it could have been six six, there was loads of goals, defending wasn't wasn't quite there tonight, but credit to them because they scored some good goals and so did we. Anyway it was a good battle, it was a good final. 

DK: As we've spoken about across the season, this has been a big thing winning this cup and so having done that, was that your highlight of the season? 

DW: Oh yeah, for sure the lads in there said it'd be third time in a row. Obviously my first time playing in the cup, so I just wanted to contribute and help the boys to win that third one and my first one, hopefully many more! 

DK: Yeah and having came through in the middle of the season, does it make it even more special to have won this? 

DW: Yeah, definitely because once we were safe, it was kind of nothing to play for. For me, because obviously moving clubs, it was nice to finish for a bit of silverware just topped off the end of the season! 

DK: You scored a goal a free kick, which was your first goal for the club, in this competition you seem to have taken to it like a duck to water! 

DW: Yeah, well hopefully many (more to come), two goals in this competition, like I said I've enjoyed it!

DK: How does it feel to have signed a new 2 yr deal, especially having joined midway through the season? 

DW: I feel grateful to have signed a 2 year deal. Only had a part of the season to impress so I’m glad I did that and the hard work continues for the 2 years. 


DK: What targets do you have both personally and team wise for next season?

DW: Team wise (we're) capable of doing as much as we like, just need to work hard. Personally, less yellow cards as costing me a fortune 😂.

DK: How did you feel the league campaign went? 

DW: No where near as well as it should have, so that’s something we’re going to improve on next season for sure.

DK: Can you pick 3 standout moments from the season?

DW: Winning the cup final and learning the Tommy Tommy R song are 2 standouts.

DK: How does it feel to have been given MOTM for a solid performance in the cup final? 

DW: Yeah very pleased with that but it wasn’t the focus just tried working as hard as possible to get the win.

DK: Can you remember much of what was said leading up to the penalty shootout?

DW: There were a lot of calm heads and a lot of the lads saying they had been in that position before so just trying to relax everyone.
